Xilinx Chips Selected for Latest 3G Wireless Test Platform From Agilent
Technologies
June 9, 2003
Xilinx announced that Agilent Technologies, a provider in communications,
utilized Xilinx devices in the development of its latest wireless manufacturing
test solution, the Agilent E5515C (8960) wireless communications test
set.
The Agilent E5515C test set was developed specifically for the high-volume
automated manufacturing test of wireless devices and offers the only one-box
solution with the ability to adapt to current 2G and 3G formats. The advanced
features of Xilinx Virtex and Spartan Series Platform field programmable
gate arrays (FPGAs) were key enablers allowing Agilent to add new digital
cellular formats to the E5515C test set as the new digital standards were
developed, dramatically shortening Agilent's time-to-market. In addition,
the flexibility of the FPGAs allows wireless device manufacturers to improve
time-to-market and lower test costs by upgrading their Agilent E5515C
test systems via the Internet as new standards emerge.
"Using Xilinx FPGAs provided Agilent with a time-to-market advantage
and reduced our overall design costs in the process," said Al Schmidt,
vice president of Agilent's Wireless Division. "The flexible nature of
Xilinx programmable chips provided our design team with the luxury of
repeated design iterations throughout the design process -- which would
not be possible using standard fixed ASIC technology.
"Agilent's unique application of our FPGAs underscores our ability to
improve time-to-market and reduce costs for our customer's customer,"
said Wim Roelandts, president and CEO at Xilinx.
