Advanced Protocol Test Applications for Wireless

6th October , 2004

US : Agilent Technologies Inc. announced significant enhancements to its real-time Signaling Analyzer solution, offering a single network-testing platform for advanced performance management and troubleshooting across all major wireless telecommunications technologies. This distributed solution enables analysis from the physical layer to the highest protocol layer on all major interfaces in GSM/GPRS/UMTS, CDMAOne and cdma2000 networks, from narrowband through ATM, IP and SS7. In today's complex 2.5 and 3G wireless networks, this enables faster deployment of new services and higher quality of service, while improving productivity.

Agilent's real-time Signaling Analyzer solution features productivity-enhancing functions such as auto-configuration, an easy-to-use graphical call trace and a distributed architecture, reducing the time required to detect complex, multi-interface, multi-protocol problems and perform root-cause analysis. It combines Agilent's Signaling Analyzer and Network Analyzer to resolve network problems as they occur, and turn what can be an overwhelming amount of diagnostic data into usable information.

"Wireless data service providers, along with their equipment manufacturers, must ensure high performance in the most complex telecommunications networks in the industry," said Steve Witt, general manager and vice president of Agilent's Network Systems Test Division. "We offer a leading Signaling Analyzer solution that enables a unique view into performance management and rapid troubleshooting. Agilent sees mobile protocol test and monitoring as an excellent growth opportunity, and we are committed to making our customers successful and ensuring their loyalty."

Agilent has added the following industry-leading functionality to the Signaling Analyzer:

Automatic real-time deciphering for Iub and Gb interfaces for monitoring "real-life" networks without the need for manual keying or configurations.
Advanced UMTS monitoring applications to troubleshoot soft-handover and macro-diversity behavior, in addition to full support of H.324M multimedia services over UMTS.
Signaling analysis for 3G technologies and advanced capabilities for cdma2000, including A10/A11 and P-H interfaces.
Support of a multi-interface E1/T1 line interface module to monitor 2G/2.5 and 3G networks simultaneously, significantly reducing the cost per interface.
