Agilent receives award for LTE and WiMAX test

17 February 2010 News

Agilent Technologies recently received Frost and Sullivan’s Best Practices Award for World Market Share Leadership in LTE and WiMAX test equipment.

The award is based on market research showing that Agilent held the highest industry market share in 2008 with 20,2% of market revenues.

“While Agilent’s competitors are capable of addressing certain segments within WiMAX and LTE, the company’s product range spans the entire technology life cycle, from early R&D through manufacturing to network deployment and service assurance,” says Frost & Sullivan research analyst, Vijay Mathew. “Despite WiMAX and LTE being at different stages of their development life cycle, Agilent continues to work and partner with its customers with an equal focus on both technologies.”

Agilent is locally sold and supported by Concilium Technologies, whose managing director, Steve Alves, says, “Agilent has a wide range of hardware platforms and software solutions that address the complex technical issues inherent to both LTE and WiMAX. These include wider bandwidth, higher frequency, complex modulation and smart antenna technologies.

“Additional resources include Agilent’s book, ‘LTE and the Evolution to 4G Wireless Design and Measurement Challenges,’ a vast library of application notes, and a knowledgeable salesforce capable of guiding and supporting customers through complex RF and wireless application challenges. This publication and all of the available literature can be obtained from Concilium on request. The application notes are all free of charge,” says Alves.

Agilent’s LTE test solutions include design simulation software with connected solutions for in-depth simulation; cross-domain test capabilities for digital to RF architectures (DigRF v4); base-station (eNodeB) test; realtime eNodeB testing; signal generation and analysis solutions for early module test including FDD, TD-LTE and MIMO; and network analysis and optimisation with SART and drive test.

Agilent’s WiMAX test offering covers R&D, design verification and pre­conformance, conformance, manu­facturing, network deployment and service assurance for fixed and mobile WiMAX, WiBro and includes support for Wave 2 and MIMO.
