Original Press Release:
Agilent Technologies' Wireless Test Manager Automates, Simplifies and Speeds the Design of Wireless Devices
PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 26, 2002 -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced the wireless test manager, a software family that automates the testing of wireless devices, giving developers confidence in the quality of their designs and enabling them to meet tight deadlines.
The wireless test manager family covers the cdma2000, IS-95, GPRS, GSM, and AMPS wireless formats. When used with the Agilent 8960 wireless communications test set, the wireless test manager is a fast, simple way to make measurements without complex instrument-control and measurement programming. The quick and easy test automation enables wireless device developers to get the data they need to characterize and improve product design and move new designs into production more quickly.
"Measurements that typically took days can now be accomplished in hours with the wireless test manager," said Al Schmidt, vice president of Agilent's Wireless Appliance Product Unit. "The solution quickly automates wireless device test, making wireless R&D and manufacturing engineers more efficient and productive."
Designers can automate basic parametric testing and device characterization with ready-to-use tests and hardware setup, accessed from the wireless test manager's user-friendly interface. Test developers can select Agilent test plans, create custom test plans, change specifications and test parameters, change the order of test steps, specify data collection, set-up instrument interfaces and more -- all without programming.
All Agilent test routines are open code, written in Microsoft(R) Visual Basic with a wireless test wizard that simplifies the program development and integration. Visual BASIC gives test developers additional flexibility for developing custom tests, user interfaces and automated handling routines.
Agilent will continue to support wireless device developers working with multiple technologies and expects to introduce new solutions for major wireless formats, including 3G formats such as W-CDMA.
