Willtek Plans Asian Launch Of 3G Mobile Device Test Set
Ismaning, Germany -- Willtek Communications has chosen CommunicAsia for the Asian launch of its new 3100 Mobile Fault Finder, a 3G communication test set for the testing of wireless devices on the shop floor, at the point of sale, point of return, for incoming inspection in repair centers, and final testing after repair and calibration.
The new instrument initially supports GSM, EDGE, and UMTS (WCDMA) and will be upgradable to CDMA2000 and future technologies.
"This is a major breakthrough in 3G mobile testing and we are delighted to be showing it for the first time anywhere in Asia at Singapore -- one of the world's most mobile-hungry and technologically advanced markets," Willtek's Singapore-based general manager, David Kong, said.
Together with its 4916 Antenna Coupler, the 4921 RF Shield, and an up-to-date list for supported phones that is downloadable from the Internet, Willtek provides a complete solution to support Go/NoGo testing of the latest wireless devices like mobile phones, wireless PDAs, and EDGE/UMTS data cards.
"With the 3100 and associated products and solutions, Willtek provides continued support to first-level service centres at the same high level as for the previous well-known products like the 4100 Series and 4350 Series Mobile Fault Finders," Cyrille Damany, CEO of Willtek Communications, said.
"The 3100 is the first wireless device tester for GSM, EDGE and UMTS at a price level affordable to low and mid-level service centers. Taking our free customer support into account, Willtek offers a complete solution at an unmatched price-performance ratio, especially considering the total cost of ownership over the whole lifecycle," Damany added.
The Willtek 3100 is a Go/NoGo tester for wireless devices designed for GSM and UMTS (WCDMA). When a customer returns a seemingly malfunctioning mobile phone, the shop assistant can easily determine if the phone is indeed defective. The test only takes a minute and helps the shop save money it would have spent on handset replacement, shipping and repair. Three levels of results provide comprehensive information: a pass/fail indication, a simple test report indicating the module that is likely to be defective, or the detailed test report with complete measurement results.
Although easy to use by non-technical personnel, the 3100 provides highly reliable test results. Willtek offers a complete testing solution for the point of sale or return and for service centers. The 3100 is complemented by the 4916 Antenna Coupler and the 4921 RF Shield. The antenna coupler easily connects the wireless device to the tester with a highly stable RF coupling characteristic. By using the additional 4921 RF Shield with its shielding of 80 dB, the user avoids that other mobile phones and nearby base stations affect the test results. Conversely, the RF Shield also prevents the mobile phone's radiation from interfering with nearby base station signals.
