Acterna Strengthens Wireless Network Test Portolio With UMTS Tester

date: October 18, 2001

Acterna announced the release of the Acterna 8610 3G Mobile Test Solution for the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), the company's first wireless network tester for 3G standards.

The Acterna 8610 3G Mobile Test Solution gives manufacturers and network operators a powerful tool to test the behavior and performance of networks by realistically simulating network conditions. The new capability will be introduced by Acterna today at the UMTS Congress 2001 in Barcelona, Spain.

The Acterna 8610 3G Mobile Test Solution speeds up and simplifies the test phases for the user by offering a multi-user networked system. Intensive tests can be performed on multiple interfaces and using different types of technology without having to perform separate tests.

In addition, The Acterna 8610 3G Mobile Test Solution employs OPTEC (Optimized Testcase Composer), a method that allows users to write test cases quickly and efficiently and eliminates the need to know complex programming languages such as C or C++. Users only need to know the protocols tested.

"As wireless carriers migrate to 3G platforms they rely increasingly on test and management solutions like the Acterna 8610 3G Mobile Test Solution to ensure operational performance," said Andreas Herren, managing director for Acterna's Wireless Networks Division. "With our new UMTS capability Acterna has made it easy and affordable for our customers to upgrade their networks to support emerging 3G networks."

The Acterna 8610 product line is a forward-looking solution for test laboratories, and hundreds of these systems for current standards like GSM, CDMA and TDMA are now in daily use around the globe, meeting the demanding requirements of manufacturers and network operators. The 8610's hardware and software components are combined to form a ready-to-go test system that can meet all deployment requirements.

There are no restrictions on the number of components that can be used with the tester, ranging from a solution for testing PBXs to a large system capable of handling all of the tests required by a switching center.
