Tektronix offers comprehensive 3G UMTS R5 Protocol test package
January 14, 2004
Tektronix, a provider of test, measurement, and monitoring solutions
for mobile equipment manufacturers and operators, announced the addition
of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Release 5 (UMTS R5) to its
portfolio of support features available on its leading protocol tester.
International standardization bodies, such as the 3GPP, issue new standard
revisions every three months to enhance existing network element functionalities.
UMTS R5 is the latest step in the migration towards full implementation
of 3G UMTS networks. In order to develop network elements that comply
with the standard, mobile equipment manufacturers are challenged to test
the compliance of their existing products against the newest specifications.
Tektronix' K1297-G20 protocol tester Version 2.60 (V2.60) delivers compliance
testing of UMTS R5 in the industry's leading protocol test platform with
the ability to address more than one-thousand protocols.
"Third-generation UMTS networks are live in many areas of the world.
As such, the pressure for mobile equipment manufacturers to test their
products in alignment with the latest standard is higher than ever in
order to keep up with demand," said Bob Agnes, Vice President, Monitoring
& Protocol Test, Tektronix. "By providing test support for UMTS R5, Tektronix
once again leads the way in providing solutions for the latest standards,
enabling our customers to speed development and deployment of 3G infrastructure."
Full Decoding and Encoding of Protocol Messages Key to Verifying Protocol
Implementation
Tektronix' V2.60 encodes message information before sending it to the
network or network element. This provides the ability to create ad-hoc
test messages and message sequences so that specific normal and abnormal
network conditions can be simulated. The user can then verify that the
protocol implementation conforms to the standard. Tektronix' V2.60 decodes
information acquired from the network or from a network element and accesses
the content of all messages exchanged between the involved network entities;
this allows the user to verify behavior of the network or network element
under test, pinpoint possible problems and identify the root case of failure.
Tektronix offers the deepest decoding and encoding support for UMTS R5.
About the K1297-G20 Protocol Tester
The K1297-G20 is a full-featured, compact protocol tester that can be
configured for a wide range of protocols. It supports multi-channel and
multi-port protocol testing and incorporates a broad selection of conformance
test suites. The K1297-G20 is set apart by its ability to simultaneously
monitor and enable interoperability of GSM, GPRS and UMTS network elements.
