Europe : NetHawk has launched a new powerful protocol analyser for UMTS monitoring. This new SW is capable of monitoring in real-time all the protocols at the Iub, Iu-CS, Iu-PS, Iu-BC, Iur, Nb, Nc, Mc, Gn, Gp, Gi, HSL and A.

The NetHawk 3G Analyser provides a capture mode feature for full STM-1 capture when high performance monitoring is needed.

The new user interface of NetHawk 3G Analyser enables efficient real-time trouble-shooting with the most advanced Iu-PS and Iu-CS Call Trace feature. The Call Trace feature will be enhanced to cover Iub and Iur in the next releases. The new UI provides also a Single-Line-Decoding with an excellent overall view as messages are shown in single rows and several messages can be seen at once.

To ease the NodeB testing and shorten the time required for configuration and problem solving, the NetHawk 3G Analyser supports the auto-configurability for Iub-monitoring.

The unique scalability from one or two interface solutions for laptop usage up to multi-interface monitoring solutions for desktop or industrial PC usage provides the users with cost efficient solutions for every monitoring task.

“In this new SW package we have focused on the main customer requirements:

Simple, but detailed view, easy troubleshooting, high monitoring performance and cost efficiency through scalability”, says Hannu Huttunen ( INSET ), the CEO of NetHawk Group. “NetHawk is already a recommended supplier for several global market leaders for mobile networks and we believe that with this package we can strengthen our leading position in the protocol test equipment market”.
