| market, the design and development process is accelerated if the user can test against the 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 customization 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. PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Racal Instruments Wireless Solutions 6401 is the latest ProCLAIME family offering and provides a 3GPP UMTS protocol and conformance test solution. Using a completely new platform, the 6401 uses the latest generation of DSP and baseband technology to provide a near 'software only' protocol test solution. This will enable the 6401 to remain future proof as the UMTS standards evolve and new features are introduced, thereby protecting the investment made in the test system. PLATFORM AND SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT The 6401 platform provides the protocol analysis capability to allow a user to observe the protocol behaviour of a mobile operating against a simulated 'perfect' UMTS network. The faithfulness of the network simulation is achieved within the 6401 by embedding a 3GPP compliant network protocol stack solution at Layers 1 and 2. |
