IFR Introduces New 1900-5 Cellular System Analyzer to Support the Latest Generation of TMDA/ANSI-136 Cellular Phones.Business Editors, Technology Writers CANCUN, Mexico--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 28, 2000 ANSI-136 subscriber base grows to over 40 million international users With the evolution of the ANSI-136 standard driving demand for advanced testing capabilities, IFR IFR abbr. instrument flight rules Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:IFRS IFRS International Financial Reporting Standard(s) IFRS Inter Frame Relay Service IFRS Indiana Facilities Registry System ) demonstrates its commitment to the ANSI-136 community with the introduction of the 1900-5 Cellular System Analyzer (CSA (1) (Canadian Standards Association, Toronto, Ontario, www.csa.ca) A standards-defining organization founded in 1919. It is involved in many industries, including electronics, communications and information technology. ). Introduced at the Universal Wireless Communication Consortium's Global 2000 Conference yesterday, the 1900-5 CSA allows research and design engineers and system design engineers to test advanced TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) A satellite and cellular phone technology that interleaves multiple digital signals onto a single high-speed channel. For cellular, TDMA triples the capacity of the original analog method (FDMA). multi-slot operation for advanced digital control channel design and test. In addition, the 1900-5 CSA provides expanded support for digital traffic channel testing and verification applications. "In the past year, IFR has worked extensively with industry leaders in the development of the 1900-5 CSA. With the digital cellular and PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995. This radio spectrum in the 1. subscribers using TDMA technology now exceeding 40 million users, the 1900-5 CSA provides developers with the tools they need to get designs to market faster, with more confidence in quality, and at a lower cost," said Jeff Bloomer, IFR president and chief executive officer. "With the 1900-5 CSA, both the TDMA base station and mobile handset designer and test engineer can fully test the latest features of the ANSI-136 standard. The 1900-5 CSA provides advanced system loading tests for base station engineers through the simulation of multiple mobile handsets. This will allow them to verify network ability to handle high traffic conditions common with today's digital cellular and PCS systems. On the reverse side, mobile handset designers can now test the mobile's ability to handle diverse demands for the latest system configurations," added Rob Barden, senior product marketing manager. About the 1900-5 CSA The 1900-5 CSA is a complete mobile and base station emulator for advanced RF and protocol testing for the TDMA/ANSI-136 market. The 1900-5 CSA provides full layer 2 and layer 3 protocol analysis capabilities with advanced RF parametric testing. The 1900 series of products have been widely accepted as the industry standard for development and testing of ANSI-136 digital phones and networks and are an integral part of the IFR Consolidated Protocol Test Suite for type verification of cellular phones by the CTIA (1) See CompTIA. (2) (Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association, Washington, DC, www.ctia.org, www.wow-com.com) A membership organization founded in 1984 that is involved with regulatory and public affairs issues in the wireless industry. and system operators. Initial delivery is expected in June 2000. About IFR IFR is a leading designer and manufacturer of electronic test instruments for wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. , avionics, and general test and measurement applications.
