The Open Base Station Architecture Initiative (OBSAI) has announced the availability of product compliance test documentations for the OBSAI open interface specifications.  The documentation contains a full set of compliance test procedures, specifications and test cases to cover all the essential modules and interfaces of the current OBSAI specifications. Companies can use the test specifications in their own test facilities or in independent test laboratories.   The provision of test specifications is a key benefit of the OBSAI standards initiative and allows operators to have confidence that products from different manufacturers, working to the OBSAI standards, have been tested for interoperability. OBSAI has also shown how versatile the OBSAI open interface specifications are through the completion of work on the integration of WiMax technology into the Base band - RF interface specifications.  One of the chief benefits of OBSAI's specifications is that they are air interface agnostic and are compatible with WCDMA, CDMA, GSM and GSM/EDGE technologies.  The vast superiority of the OBSAI BTS architecture made it very simple to add WiMAX to the RP3 interface.
