Agilent Technologies Introduces Fixed, Mobile WiMAX Manufacturing Test for Consumer Premises Equipment
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 1, 2007 -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced a WiMAX Manufacturing Test System for WiMAX Consumer Premises Equipment (CPE) and PC card manufacturers seeking a calibration and tuning solution optimized for high-volume environments. The Agilent MXZ-1000 supports both fixed (802.16-2004) and mobile (802.16e-2005) "last mile" broadband wireless access systems using a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint architecture.
As the industry's leading WiMAX manufacturing test system offering Beceem's BCS120 chipset library, MXZ-1000 is optimized to directly control Beceem's BCS120 baseband and RF chipset and the WiMAX modem software, enabling the highest possible measurement throughput. Beceem is the leading supplier of chipsets for the recently ratified, IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard on which Mobile WiMAX is based. Beceem will certify Agilent's test systems for use by manufacturers that are developing mobile WiMAX products based on the BCS120 chipset. For more information on the agreement with Beceem Communications, see www.agilent.com/about/newsroom/presrel/2007/12feb-em07043.html.
