Agilent Technologies and Azimuth Systems to Provide Complete Fixed-Mobile Convergence Test Solution

(Business News & Technology News, 28 Feb 2008)

Agilent Technologies Inc. and Azimuth Systems will collaborate to create the industry's first complete fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) test solution, which will offer full FMC testing between the Wi-Fi network and the generic access network for both functionality and performance. The FMC test solution is expected to be commercially available in the second quarter of 2008 and will combine Agilent's 8960 Wireless Communications Test Set with the Azimuth FMC Performance Test Suite.

The Agilent 8960 Wireless Communications Test Set is a one-box test set for wireless device development, manufacturing and repair of all major 2G, 2.5G, 3G and 3.5G wireless technologies. It provides test solutions for mobile devices across the entire lifecycle on a single platform. The 8960's ability to test Unlicensed Mobile Access/Generic Access Network handsets, on this leading mobile test platform, makes it the industry's preferred solution for flexibility in testing multiple mobile technologies and converged mobile devices.

The Azimuth FMC Performance Test Suite includes a comprehensive suite of automated test scripts that streamline the testing of VoWiFi and fixed-mobile convergence products to validate the functionality, performance and seamless mobility of devices and networks. Currently used by industry-leading service providers, handset manufacturers and semiconductor vendors, this test suite provides a full range of unique, repeatable performance and interoperability tests on converged Wi-Fi/cellular devices over a broad range of real-world environment dynamics. It also measures Wi-Fi performance in areas that end-users care about most such as dropped calls, battery life and call quality.
