Press Release Body: Anite plc (LSE: AIE) a global leader in testing technology for
the wireless industry, has selected the 4M Wireless LTE protocol stack for
comprehensive verification of the Anite SAT(H) LTE protocol test solution. 4M

LTE specifications. The two companies have already extensively tested the MAC, RLC,
and PDCP and are currently the first in the world to carry out full interoperability
tests of the RRC and NAS protocol layers for LTE.

The 4M Wireless LTE stack is part of the company's LTEST product provided to Anite.
Anite's SAT(H) is a host-based protocol tester for mobile user equipment
development. The SAT(H) assists developers of the LTE UE protocol stack in testing
their protocol implementation at an early stage and carry out advanced stability
tests prior to ASIC and FPGA involvement. By using the 4M Wireless UE protocol stack
solution for verification, Anite will be able to deliver fully tested protocol test
tools to its terminal equipment customers.

The 3GPP Release 8 specifications for LTE are scheduled to be completed by the end
of this year and companies are quickly developing their products in line with the
standard. With their first-to-market solutions, 4M Wireless and Anite are ideally
positioned to meet the aggressive schedules of the LTE market.
