Analyser exercises PCI Express protocols
Agilent Technologies has introduced the industry's first complete and integrated x1 to x16 protocol analyser and exerciser solution for PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0.
Network equipment manufactures and operators now have a single integrated analysis environment to test and optimise HSUPA and other Release 6 features within mixed RAN environments without sacrificing the ability to optimise technologies that are already deployed.
Today's 3G UMTS networks are evolving to deliver increased capacity, reliability and data performance.
As mobile network operators shift focus from increasing downlink data rates, they face a new challenge: exploiting UMTS High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) and other Release 6 features without impacting the quality of existing services.

Array option expands scope of parametric tester
Test system makes parametric test a viable option for the yield ramp-up phase for the first time by allowing users to test more structures in less time with greater throughput.
Mobile operators also have to adapt the transport layer to support the increased needs of the evolving radio access network.
As a result, operators must manage a hybrid of ATM and IP-based radio access networks to work together seamlessly.
The key benefits of the Agilent UMTS Signaling Analyser's real-time troubleshooting and expert-analysis system for 3GPP R6 HSUPA are: reduced time to test with autodetection of E-DCH transport channels; complete visibility of all signalling with 3G deciphering and RLC/MAC reassembly features; inclusion of a fully integrated call trace that automatically correlates control and user plane messages plus support for HSUPA transport channel switching and mobility scenarios; a full protocol and statistics suite for 3GPP Release 6 with expert-analysis tools, enabling rapid identification of network problems; HSUPA optimisation tools that integrate throughput, retransmission, flow control and quality metrics with call trace including top-down drill-down capability; trend analysis correlation with the ability to graph multiple different measurements types together on the same display; support for enhanced Uu correlated analysis with import of Agilent's E6474A NITRO drive test data; and support for both ATM and IP-based UTRAN for troubleshooting within hybrid UMTS networks.
"In a landscape of rapid 3G network evolution, operators are challenged to cost effectively deploy new features and services", says Chris Witt, General Manager of Agilent's Next Generation Wireless Division.
"Agilent's signaling analyser solutions for the UMTS evolution enable operators to protect existing investments in tools and infrastructure while minimising the costs associated with deploying new technologies".
The J7837A 3GPP R6 HSUPA technology option for Agilent's J7830A Signaling Analyser is available now.
