Original Press Release:
Agilent Technologies Releases Industry's First HSDPA Pre-Conformance Test Cases
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the release of the first commercially available pre-conformance test system that supports High-Speed Downlink Packet Access test cases (3GPP TS 34.121). HSDPA is the 3.5G, packet-based data service added to the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 5 to improve the W-CDMA downlink.
The Agilent GS-8800 RF pre-conformance test system enables cellular-phone design engineers to perform early RF design verification to meet a wide range of development needs. In addition to HSDPA, the test system supports other cellular technologies, such as W-CDMA, GSM/GPRS, EGPRS, cdmaOne/CDMA2000 and 1xEV-DO. As a result, cellular designers can be confident that their test platform is confirmed and continuously updated for the suite of test cases for UMTS devices.
Traditionally, cellular design teams have been comprised of smaller design teams that work on the design's different modules, such as the transceiver or receiver. With its extensive flexibility, the GS-8800 RF pre-conformance test system easily supports all members of the design team. Its ability to scale the hardware and software platforms provides just the right test for each design team. Similarly, customers can easily upgrade their GS-8800 RF Pre-Conformance platform to future technologies, or to the full conformance test system, with hardware and software upgrade options.
The Agilent GS-8800 RF Pre-Conformance Test System is a GCF-certified test platform for UMTS devices. Software release 1.7a provides HSDPA RF test cases for section 5.2A, 5.9A, 5.10A and 6.3A.
