NetHawk releases complete solution for mobile WiMAX protocol simulation and analysis

(Product News, 9 Feb 2007)

NetHawk has expanded its product portfolio with the release of a complete protocol testing solution for mobile WiMAX, which drastically reduces network equipment development and troubleshooting. Offering a state-of-the-art platform for functional, conformance and load testing, the solution based on NetHawk EAST simulator and NetHawk M5 analyser helps equipment manufacturers and operators to bring WiMAX from labs to live networks.

Both NetHawk M5 and NetHawk EAST can easily be configured for simultaneous testing of WiMAX and other telecommunication technologies. For instance, users can verify an SIP session end-to-end functionality in a situation where one Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) is located in WiMAX network and an other User Equipment (UE) is located for example in UTRAN or in UMA network.

NetHawk EAST offers an all-in-one solution for mobile WiMAX equipment development and testing. The NetHawk WiMAX Tester is targeted for mobile WiMAX Base Station testing at R6 interface and ASN Gateway testing. Supporting WiMAX functional and load testing specified by the WiMAX Forum, the tester also features graphical configuration tool and the powerful on-line monitoring based on NetHawk M5, which feature Session Tracing and graphical statistics that enable WiMAX traffic analysis.

The NetHawk solution will be launched in 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona.
