Tektronix Announces Mobile Test Platform For 3G And 3.5G Broadband Wireless Network Elements
Tektronix' K1297-G35 enables customers to test 3G networks under simulated yet realistic conditions. Test applications can cover user-plane traffic representing simulated voice, data and circuit-switched video applications as well as control-plane traffic such as the signaling messages sent during network transactions. The K1297-G35 provides the scalable platform needed to support multi-interface, high-performance as well as high-capacity test applications.
"Customers are challenged by the complexity associated with implementing new technologies such as HSDPA, HSUPA and video call service," said Arif Kareem, Vice President, Network Diagnostics, Tektronix. "We are committed to enabling the successful deployment of 3G and 3.5G technologies with unique test features that provide scalability from function to performance testing. We are pleased to bring this new platform to the market that raises the bar in functional test performance. The K1297-G35 offers the highest speed test environment and the broadest range of protocols and interfaces available that enable our customers to overcome technology and business challenges now and in the future."
The K1297-G35 Protocol Tester supports functional testing of a wide range of interfaces in mobile networks. Software packages are available to address the most relevant interfaces within 2G and 3G networks, in addition to functional testing of HSDPA and HSUPA; functional testing of circuit-switched video applications based on the H.324m standard; and Media Gateway functional testing, including support for Tandem Free Operation (TFO). The K1297-G35 offers UTRAN interfaces (Iub, Iur and Iu- PS/Iu-CS); GERAN interfaces (including Gb over FR and Gb over IP); and interfaces within the mobile core network.
