This platform expansion includes three introductions.
The Agilent J7880A signalling analyser software platform enables passive probing and analysis of LTE network interfaces.
From single point monitoring and analysis to a fully distributed test environment, the signalling analyser platform effortlessly scales to meet the dynamic and changing test needs from the lab to operations.
With a powerful combination of distributable hardware preprocessing with scalable software architecture the signalling analyser platform will help to ensure the successful deployment of an integrated LTE/SAE network system.
The Agilent J6860A distributed performance manager, offers a systemised approach in analysing protocol problems over extended test periods.
The software application integrates Agilent's quality-of-service manager with the signalling analyser real-time analysis software.
This allows users to identify errors and the root cause of the most critical problems much more quickly, making test engineers more effective and efficient, which saves precious time and money.
More important, network equipment manufacturers can truly support the goal of getting products to market faster and with higher quality.
Capabilities include: monitoring of long-term tests, set thresholds, alerts to events impacting performance and interoperability, and ability to pinpoint errors in seconds; capture and analysis tens of millions of sessions and quick isolation of a single call failure or anomaly with three mouse clicks; and extensive key performance indicators calculated for each calls per session, with results aggregated by time, application and subscriber.
The Agilent J6804A distributed network analyser high density (DNA-HD) provides a leading hardware capture-and-analysis engine with the highest testing performance and the industry's lowest cost per port.
The DNA-HD simultaneously supports up to 16 gigabit Ethernet interfaces, offering scalability and increased testing flexibility.
It provides Network Time Protocol or GPS type synchronisation, extensive user and control plane filtering, line-rate signalling and user plane analysis, and can be managed and configured over the network.
The Agilent J7880A and J7830A signalling analysis software platform and the Agilent J6860A distributed performance manager are available now.
The Agilent J6804A distributed network analyser high density will be available in April.
