<title>Catapult Communications  developing an LTE PHY</title>
<description>The program has gone from start to a customer-delivered operational PHY in less than 10 months. 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.</description>
