Spirent announce EV-DO testing application

March 16, 2005

Spirent Communications announces the availability of its APEX C2K: SC platform for automated testing of EV-DO applications.

Although Asia boasted the first commercial EV-DO applications, 2004 saw the launch of nine new EV-DO networks around the world. Deployment of another 17 networks is underway for 2005. EV-DO is now live on five continents, having taken advantage of the 450 MHz band (CDMA450) to accelerate the transition from 1G to 3G networks and the 2.1 GHz band to provide high-speed packet data services to new markets. EV-DO is no longer an experiment but a proven, robust and high revenue-generating technology.

The data rates and services offered by EV-DO have led to an explosion of deployments and subscribers (almost.10M as of September 2004). As the user base grows, so does the need to reliably test EV-DO application to ensure end-user satisfaction with EV-DO capable devices and the new services they support. Signaling Conformance testing ensures users can successfully interoperate with an EV-DO network and roam across EV-DO networks from different service providers and infrastructure manufacturers.

Spirent's APEX C2K: SC provides a proven platform to reliably perform Signaling Conformance testing on EV-DO capable mobile devices and to verify the robustness of EV-DO subscriber applications. APEX C2K: SC automates test cases from TIA-919 (3GPP2 C.S0038), the Signaling Conformance standard for CDMA2000 High Rate Packet Data Air Interface. APEX C2K: SC is a fully integrated system, built upon Spirent's APEX test platform for automated application testing.

"2005 is clearly an important year for EV-DO growth," said Rob VanBrunt, vice president of product marketing at Spirent Communications. "At Spirent we continually strive to enable our customers to bring their products to market faster, with better performance. With the APEX C2K: SC solution, our customers are able to ensure that their new EV-DO devices and services will be delivered with robust, reliable performance."

APEX C2K: SC includes TestDrive SC Automation Test Executive software, UDM Universal Diagnostic Monitor software for control and monitoring of the EV-DO device under test, and AirAccess 1xPLUS 1X and EV-DO Network Emulation.
