Agilent Technologies Debuts WiMAX Optimization Solution for 802.16e-2005

(Product News, 29 Jun 2007)

Agilent Technologies Inc. has released its WiMAX Optimization Solution for IEEE 802.16e-2005. This breakthrough drive-testing capability for its network optimization test platform enables WiMAX network equipment manufacturers and service providers to authenticate the actual subscriber experience in real-world WiMAX environments. This capability allows manufacturers to develop faster and more reliable WiMAX-enabled products.

The Agilent WiMAX Optimization Solution is the latest version of the new 4G air interface technology, enhanced for ultra high-speed packet data transfer with Quality of Service (QoS). It enables 4G wireless communications systems to deliver business-critical data services such as video telephony, video conferencing and video streaming downloads, with network-enforced QoS to guarantee the performance of the service.

"With WiMAX environments that operate in IEEE 802.16e-2005, manufacturers and service providers are facing complex measurement considerations compared with traditional 2G and 3G iDEN/CDMA networks," said David Churchill, vice president and general manager, Agilent's Network and Digital Solutions business unit. "Our portfolio provides the ability to test devices, signals and services from the early stages of development through deployment. This helps design and manufacturing engineers do their jobs faster and more efficiently than ever before."
