TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies Introduces Triple-Play Solutions that Simplify Complexity of Test and Management; Communications Test and Assurance Tools Support Evolution of Converged IP-based Infrastructures in Next-Generation Networks.CHICAGO -- Agilent Technologies (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today introduced triple-play test and assurance solutions that support the evolution of converged IP-based infrastructures that can transmit data, voice and video over a single wireline or wireless network in real time. As the triple-play services industry continues to grow, network equipment manufacturers, service providers, cable installers and network operators seek products that simplify the complexity of test and management. The new tools help to validate consumer products under real-world conditions, and deliver the quality of experience (QoE) that is expected in today's digital market. These products can successfully and efficiently manage user demands in a cost-effective manner, and identify issues affecting next-generation networks. The Agilent N2X Multiservices Test Solution Agilent's N2X multiservices test solution validates data, voice and video services over MPLS/IP core, carrier edge and broadband access infrastructures. Network equipment manufacturers and service providers can identify -- before they deploy their networks -- whether access network equipment can deliver IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. QoE expectations for each subscriber under highly scaled and dynamic environments. The Agilent N2X replaces the need to test with a lab full of set-top-boxes and video sources, providing engineers with significant lab-space, financial and time savings. More information about the Agilent N2X is available at www.agilent.com/find/n2x-pr. The Agilent FrameScope Pro Agilent's FrameScope Pro handheld Gigabit Ethernet troubleshooting and benchmarking tool allows network operators to conduct deployment testing of all triple-play elements -- data, voice and video services -- all in one solution. Telecommunications and Internet service providers are able to make the most efficient use of their IP-based networks that need to offer adequate transport performance, low latencies and high elasticity against bandwidth congestion The condition of a network when there is not enough bandwidth to support the current traffic load. congestion - When the offered load of a data communication path exceeds the capacity. . More information about the FrameScope Pro is available at http://www.agilent.com/find/fspro-pr. The Agilent Signaling Analyzer UTRAN UTRAN UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network Optimizer The Signaling Analyzer's UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network UTRAN, short for UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network, is a collective term for the Node-B's and Radio Network Controllers which make up the UMTS radio access network. (UTRAN) Optimizer enables engineers to maximize 3G resources and QoE by providing expert characterization of UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) The GSM implementation of the 3G wireless phone system. Part of IMT-2000, UMTS provides service in the 2 GHz band and offers global roaming and personalized features. and HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) See HSPA. access networks. It provides insight into the UTRAN's resource allocation resource allocation Managed care The constellation of activities and decisions which form the basis for prioritizing health care needs , utilization and performance. Service providers and network equipment manufacturing labs can take advantage of industry-leading performance in traffic capture and streaming for greater flexibility and efficiency, and less complex systems verification and problem resolution. More information about this product is available at www.agilent.com/find/sart-pr. The Agilent Network Tester Agilent's Network Tester for realistic triple-play traffic testing offers the industry's broadest range of application data, voice and video protocols to deliver unprecedented test realism and measurement precision. Manufacturers and operators can avoid costly service disruption problems by validating network performance limits at the network design and capacity planning stages.

Agilent OEMs and Integrates Ellacoya System This first-to-market solution combines Ellacoya's deep packet inspection Analyzing network traffic to discover the type of application that sent the data. In order to prioritize traffic or filter out unwanted data, deep packet inspection can differentiate data, such as video, audio, chat, voice over IP (VoIP), e-mail and Web. technology, which identifies and classifies service use and performance information at gigabit rates, with Agilent's deep packet analysis technology, which monitors and manages key services. The joint solution for monitoring, managing and controlling broadband IP networks enables service providers to optimize network planning, improve troubleshooting and deliver service assurance to multi-service IP networks.
