Overview

Azimuth Systems is a privately-held company located near Boston, Massachusetts. The company’s primary products include wireless channel emulators and wireless test equipment for LTE, WiMAX, 2G/3G cellular and Wi-Fi technologies, and are used by the world’s leading wireless semiconductor designers, infrastructure and mobile equipment vendors, and service providers to improve wireless product quality and speed time-to-market.

Azimuth’s wireless channel emulation and wireless test products and solutions enable research, development, quality assurance and systems engineers to test the performance, conformance and certification of broadband wireless devices and networks, while reducing the cost and time of manual testing.

Azimuth test solutions enable users to recreate real-world scenarios in a laboratory setting, providing a means for users to test their equipment in a reliable, repeatable and cost effective way. Many of Azimuth’s test solutions also allow testing that was previously only performed very late in the development and deployment cycle through over-the-air field testing to be performed earlier and more thoroughly in the product design and development cycles. The employment of effective testing earlier in the process can reduce development costs and time-to-market by identifying anomalies earlier when they are easier to address.
