PA has provided Catapult with access to early versions of the system in order to allow the system integration to proceed in parallel. Joint integration has taken place, using common test vectors, and leading to a reliable, well understood platform. PA has helped transfer PHY level knowledge to Catapult to enable design evolution. http://www.paconsulting.com/our-experience/catapult-communications-developing-an-lte-phy/ 809 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:36:10 GMT 20120323163610 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:24:27 GMT 20090601092427 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:36:10 GMT 201203231643610 Haider Shukhaer Case study (Our experience) Maximising return from science and technology Technology & Innovation Technology and innovation services Vendors Driving innovative product development As part of the overall product Quintel asked PA Consulting Group to help with the design and development of the innovative RF Receiver PCB design.
