Europe
: NetTest, a leading worldwide provider of testing, monitoring and
management solutions for advanced and converged networks, today announced
the launch of its CMA 3000, its next-generation field tester for mobile
networks. The launch is further reinforced by a major mobile operator
placing the first order.
The CMA
3000 is NetTest’s new portable, compact and user-friendly all-in-one
field tester for mobile networks designed specifically for technicians
who install and maintain mobile-access, fixed-access and transmission
networks, and switching. The NetTest CMA 3000 has the unique ability
to maintain and optimize existing networks and test networks while
they are in operation, allowing operators to pinpoint problems faster
and subsequently reduce network downtime.
The intuitive,
scalable platform of the CMA 3000 increases testing flexibility and
reliability at the same time improving operational productivity. The
scalable platform also provides operators with an unrivalled upgrade
path as needs and network technologies develop, enabling operators
to slash capital investment.
“We’re
proud to announce the launch of the CMA 3000 and that we have secured
our first order. This gives us a strong foundation for further expanding
our market position within field testers for mobile and fixed networks”,
says Jacob Krogsgaard, vice president of the Networks business unit
at NetTest. Krogsgaard adds, “The CMA 3000 builds on the proven
know-how and experience of the NetTest Lite 3000 family, one of the
world’s most popular field testers. This immediately gives our
customers a vast range of features and functionality.”
