The onslaught of smaller femtocells and newer smartphones are putting design for testability and manufacturability challenges to T&M companies.No doubt the T&M OEMs are doing their best to show off achievement at Barcelona show as I write this blog.While Delhi streets were deserted due to strike protesting inflation and labour policy.In the Spanish town though there was quiet,I believe,and streets were at their usual charm.
The femtocell is just "cell" and Cisco is wanting to pile on this bandwagon and hype is created for LTE with NEMs claiming their wins in Europe and elsewhere.The T&M majors though are steadily advancing,few off course with tongue in cheek!
I remain quite confident that in 2012 we will find one vendor clearly outdistancing others on LTE testing.Particularly the TDD piece will come from behind and take the winners Crown.Revenuewise though among the Billionaire Club,we have new entry with NI creeping into the area of RF testing and Labview leading the charge.Voice over LTE and handoff testing will find new niches.Well optimism remains the winner!
