Agilent Technologies has announced that it will demonstrate its wide-ranging portfolio of communications test solutions at 3GSM 2007 World Congress. Agilent’s portfolio of design and test solutions addresses the needs of network equipment manufacturers, infrastructure designers, chipset manufacturers and service providers.
With communications technology advancing on many fronts and the continuing moves toward convergence, communications companies need application-specific design and test tools that can evolve to meet their changing needs. This is especially true in an environment where standards are often fluid and not finalised until late in the design and implementation cycle.
At 3GSM 2007 Agilent will demonstrate:
– New logic analysers that provide digital and stimulus analysis for Digital RF solutions (DigRF 3.0x). The integration of digital and RF technology in a mobile handset is an aspect of convergence in communications that is creating widespread interest. Agilent is one of the first companies to offer testing solutions for DigRF.
– New wireless libraries for 3G LTE (Long Term Evolution) that are part of Agilent’s Advanced Design System (ADS), which is widely used by communications component and equipment designers.
– New one box tester design and verification solutions based on the latest release of 3GPP specifications. Agilent will announce 7.2Mbps HSDPA coupled to real-time 3GPP network mobility signalling and InterRAT voice and data handover solutions providing broad, cost-effective RF and functional test coverage and support needed by designers for validation and regression testing
– New manufacturing test solutions that support the draft 802.11n wireless LAN specification that adds Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) capabilities to increase data throughout and range.
– New drive-test solutions that allow cellular operators to characterise the performance of their networks. By monitoring network performance in the field, network planners can make the right investment decision as to where to build or which base stations to improve. These drive-test solutions have a completely new user interface and multi-technology receiver platform.
– assureME Intelligence, the industry’s first solution to manage services and customers in real-time by combining customer experience data with SLA contract information and enterprise data.
– Latest N2X and Network Tester solutions for 3G data link integrity and triple play service performance validation — crucial components for network planning, optimising and troubleshooting by equipment manufacturers and service providers.
– New Signal Analyser solutions that support the convergence of mobile IP. Agilent will announce new Signal Analyser solutions for IMS, UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access) and HSUPA (High Speed Up-link Packet Access).
