OPNET Unveils UMTS Model for 3G Wireless Protocol

date: August 28, 2001

OPNET Technologies, provider of intelligent network management software, today announced the introduction of new modeling software specifically designed to evaluate and optimize 3G wireless technology.

UMTS is widely accepted as the standard protocol that will support 3G services and is expected to deliver low-cost, high-capacity mobile communications at rates up to 2mbps. In March OPNET announced plans to co-develop UMTS models with Telcordia, an effort that has since been completed successfully.

OPNET today further announced members of a new OPNET-sponsored 3G consortium with a mission to provide direction, recommendations and feedback for UMTS model development and implementation.

Members to date include preeminent leaders in the 3G market space, notably AT&T Wireless, Hutchison 3G, France Telecom R&D, NTT DoCoMo, Samsung, NEC, SK Telecom, mDiversity, Golden Bridge Technologies, FG Microtec and CelPlan.

"OPNET provides us the ability to design and test proprietary components for our 3G equipment. This saves R&D dollars by reducing design problems before we even build prototypes", said Jan-Am Choi, Prinicpal Engineer at Samsung, "We can design commercial 3G system architectures evaluated against predicted user traffic profiles.

When utilized in conjunction with OPNET's core products, the new UMTS models will specifically enable customers to:

- Perform network engineering analysis by streamlining network operations and increasing reliability while optimizing performance and resource utilization;

- Support Virtual deployment of QoS policies and enable engineers to understand how different types of traffic, when provided different QoS will affect overall network performance;

- Conduct network component failure/recovery and quantify the performance impact and determine network behavior due to node and link failures; and,

- Design and validate new architectures, by modeling and analyzing next-generation protocols.
