| In Europe and through the majority of the rest of the world this 2G and 3G interaction will be between GSM/GPRS and UMTS networks. The Inter-System HandOver (ISHO) requirements are defined by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project). The resultant output is a comprehensive set of specifications setting out the requirements to which equipment must conform, and the scenarios against which equipment must be verified. To reduce the time it takes to deliver a mobile to market, the R&D process is accelerated if the user can test against these conformance specifications whilst still in development. EXPERTISE IN DIGITAL CELLULAR TEST Aeroflex has been closely involved in providing test solutions since the launch of digital cellular systems. These have delivered users significant time and cost benefits in technologies such as GSM, GPRS, EDGE and CDMA. Aeroflex develops its own hardware and software and works with industry leaders in areas such as conformance test cases. This approach ensures the integrity and reliability of the test systems. MEETING CUSTOMER NEEDS Aeroflex delivers a total solution where elements such as reliability, support and customisation are recognized to be of equal importance. This approach enables solutions to be offered that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the user.
