Original Press Release:
Agilent Technologies Introduces 1xEV-DO Default Packet Application Support for Access Terminal Designers
NEW ORLEANS, CTIA Wireless 2005, Booth 1547, March 14, 2005
Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the release of an 1xEV-DO lab application to help designers simplify the development of access terminals and streamline device transition from development into manufacturing. The Agilent E6706A works with Agilent's E5515C (8960) wireless communications test set to create a cost-effective, desk-top, network in a box with true dynamic network performance, and default packet application support for real-world throughput analysis and network emulation. This application provides peak data rates up to 2.4 Mb/s, enabling testing of access terminals in the most stringent network conditions.
This one-box configuration speeds the development of 1xEV-DO access terminals by providing critical network simulation capabilities such as Simple and Mobile IP functionality, throughput analysis on a packet data connection, and comprehensive parametric measurement capabilities. By combining the E6706A with Agilent's Baseband Studio for fading, the solution enables device testing under simulated faded network conditions, reducing the cost associated with testing devices in remote locations. The E6706A includes external wireless protocol analyzer software, allowing designers to find and resolve difficult signaling functionality and timing issues. Three levels of filtering and triggering allow targeted data capture, eliminating the need to view lengthy log files. The protocol analyzer software runs on an external PC connected to the E5515C test set through the Ethernet port.
To streamline the access terminals' transition into production, the E6706A includes all the manufacturing-specific features and measurements of the Agilent E1966A 1xEV-DO test application. Using both of Agilent's 1xEV-DO products establishes identical test limits between development and manufacturing, allowing early development and implementation of test code.
