FanFare's Testing Solution Wins TMC's LTE Visionary Award

Mountain View, Calif.-based Fanfare reportedly announced that it received the 2009 LTE Visionary Award for its iTest 3.4 product at Technology Marketing Corporation’s 4G Wireless Evolution Conference program. The award was presented with Crossfire Media.

ITest has found wide application as a testing solution for core network systems for major service providers and as a test automation solution for large network equipment manufacturers. The solution is now being used to test equipment used in services for a variety of complex technologies such as LTE, IMS, femtocells, and WiMax. Through its advanced test automation capabilities, iTest 3.4 reduces time to test, thereby shortening time to market.

"We are extremely pleased that TMC and Crossfire Media have recognized our strategic role in this process. With iTest, customers can expedite the overall testing process without sacrificing quality, significantly enhancing the bottom line."
