Agilent's cdma2000 Tools Reduce Wireless Service Providers' Downtime and Maintenance Costsdate: November 2, 2001 Agilent Technologies introduced a series of products and services to speed the deployment and performance of 3G cdma2000 networks. New products include the industry's only cdma2000 base station over-air maintenance tool and the only cdma2000 network planning and design tool that models network conditions at the deployment phase. When coupled with Agilent's new wireless network optimization platform, analysis software and mobile station test set, these solutions give wireless service providers and network infrastructure providers the leading-edge tools necessary to plan, install, optimize and manage cdma2000 networks. The new products and services include: The Agilent E6474A base station over-air maintenance tool -- by offering the industry's only cdma2000 over-air tester, Agilent has introduced a solution that greatly reduces the time and resources required to accurately identify and solve cdma2000 network problems in the field. Typically operated from inside a service vehicle, the base station over-air maintenance tool reduces the time necessary to test a base station by eliminating the need for technicians to leave their vehicles to perform first-level diagnostics. Since technician time is used more efficiently, service providers can now perform additional testing of base stations, reducing downtime and overall maintenance costs. The Agilent E6474A wireless network optimization platform -- Agilent's wireless network optimization platform is a comprehensive system for service providers and equipment manufacturers to optimize and benchmark cdma2000 networks. By measuring radio link protocol (RLP), application and IP layer data simultaneously on cdma2000 networks, coupled with a new high-speed digital receiver, the system makes troubleshooting complex networks up to two times faster than before. Utilizing client-server technology for packet-switched data measurements, the system provides RF engineers with the end-to-end perspective necessary for a robust cdma2000 network. This flexible system can control up to four receivers and four phones at once, which can reduce the need for repeated network testing. The Agilent OPAS32 analysis software -- this tool helps service providers achieve and maintain optimum cdma2000 network performance. By analyzing information gathered from drive-test equipment, OPAS32 generates customized reports that identify network problems. RF engineers use this information to quickly correct network problems, which increases subscriber satisfaction and reduces engineering expenses. The Agilent E6482A Wizard -- for service providers in the network planning stage, the E6482A Wizard is the industry's only cdma2000 network planning and design tool that models network conditions at the deployment phase. By modeling network conditions before actual base stations are installed, the E6482A Wizard streamlines the deployment and optimization of new and overlay networks. The E6482A Wizard provides the ability to completely simulate a network and model various subscriber usage patterns, ensuring complete and reliable network performance at system buildout. The Agilent E6393B mobile station test set -- this is an economical diagnostic repair solution designed to reduce mobile phone test and repair costs. Designed for use in retail locations, the test set features the best price-to-value ratio on the market and reduces the number of no-trouble-found phones that otherwise would be sent into the repair pipeline. This increases subscriber satisfaction and reduces cost for the service provider. Services and training -- Agilent also offers complete consulting services and training for wireless networks, including an all-new training curriculum for cdma2000. Staff engineers provide services to operators and manufacturers worldwide to ensure cdma2000 networks are designed, built and operated as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
