"This leadership, continued innovation and industry participation is crucial to ensuring today's engineers have the tools from Agilent they need to create the next-generation of communication based on WiMAX".
"Agilent's broad offering for testing fixed and mobile WiMAX comprises a number of premier test solutions that span the entire WiMAX lifecycle", said Keum Chul Shin, Operations and Delivery Manager for Agilent's Korea Measurement Systems Division.
"We have now delivered over 15 customer installations, each demonstrating an exceptional level of performance, coupled with reliable, repeatable and consistent results".
"This makes our offering the most up-to-date, complete and widely accepted answer to WiMAX R and D, design verification and production test".
Agilent was the first test and measurement vendor to join the WiMAX Forum.
Its active participation in this organisation includes work on a number of different subcommittees including: the Mobile Task Group Technical Working Group, the Roaming Working Group, the Application Business Group of the Application Working Group, and the Mobile Radio Conformance Test and Specialised Test Equipment Subgroups.
Each of these task groups is chartered with investigating and resolving specific aspects related to implementing WiMAX.
Agilent also provides onsite engineering experts at WiMAX PlugFests.
