Tektronix Adds 1x EV-DO to Portfolio, Paves Way for Data Services
In South Korea and North America
September 4, 2002
Tektronix, an innovator in test, measurement and monitoring solutions
for mobile network operators, announced an important new option
for its proven base transceiver station (BTS) tool that addresses
the latest 3G technology, enabling operators to provide high data
rate services.
The latest step in the path to the CDMA is the high-performance
1x EV-DO technology that provides increased data rates in mobile
networks. Built on the existing CDMA infrastructure, installation
of 1x EV-DO technology is relatively simple; however, because it
relies on time division (TDMA) techniques to share its data bandwidth
among many users, installers may encounter complex behaviors not
seen with traditional CMDA systems. Options CDE and CRE, Tektronix'
newest additions to the NetTek BTS field tool, add automatic CDMA2000
1x EV-DO measurements and analysis tools, simplifying troubleshooting
tasks and dramatically reducing installation time. The new options
are compliant to the CDMA2000 1x EV-DO standard.
"Tektronix' NetTek field tool is an innovative instrument for field
trials. With its lightweight, modular architecture, we're able to
quickly and efficiently troubleshoot our 1x EV-DO network," said
Ki-Mo Jeong, SK Telecom Engineer.
"With the increased data rates available on 1x EV-DO networks,
subscribers get the enhanced services they want and operators have
more potential for revenue," said Mark Kulper, General Manager,
Wireless Product Line, Tektronix. "High data rates bring new troubleshooting
challenges to mobile networks and requires field technicians to
stop problems fast to avoid QoS problems. As 1x EV-DO is deployed,
it is essential to equip field teams with tools that help them solve
unfamiliar problems quickly and accurately."
