(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced that its Network Optimization Platform now supports all CDMA technologies, including 1X-EVDO, enabling service providers to ensure performance for high-speed wireless broadband High-speed wireless transmission of data. What is "high" speed is always a changing number. Wireless systems are typically slower than land-based, wireline networks. In the past, wireless broadband started at 250 Kbps, whereas land-based broadband was generally considered to start at T1 networks. The solution helps radio frequency (RF) engineers test, troubleshoot and optimize data and multimedia services. This end-to-end network testing solution is the most comprehensive in the industry, correlating RF measurements and subscribers' service experience to reduce troubleshooting and problem-resolution time, producing a higher-performing network and better quality of service (QoS). Agilent's automated data testing generates real-use traffic, such as website browsing, MP3 file downloads and FTP FTP in full file transfer protocol Internet protocol that allows a computer to send files to or receive files from another computer. Like many Internet resources, FTP works by means of a client-server architecture; the user runs client software to connect to data transfers. Call drops and blocks, service availability, signal strength, capacity and other key performance indicators Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are financial and non-financial metrics used to quantify objectives to reflect strategic performance of an organization. KPIs are used in Business Intelligence to assess the present state of the business and to prescribe a course of action. are captured and fed into user-friendly visualization and analysis tools to give RF engineers insight into their network's air interface performance. "To capture their share of the lucrative high-speed wireless broadband market, CDMA service providers need to ensure high QoS to keep subscribers from defecting to competitive carriers," said Steve Witt, general manager and vice president of Agilent's Network Systems Test Division. "Agilent solutions test performance throughout the service life cycle -- from initial testing and limited introduction to full deployment -- ensuring subscribers get a positive service experience."
