(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced that it will integrate UbiNetics' TM200 UMTS Test Mobile into Agilent's UMTS receiver-based drive test system for third-generation (3G) cellular phone networks. The new solution will enable end-to-end quality of service measurements under real traffic conditions giving service providers confidence that the quality and coverage of their 3G networks will meet customers' expectations. Delivering outstanding service quality is a critical factor in ensuring the quick and successful rollout of 3G networks and services. Until now, service providers could only measure a limited number of 3G network parameters, which only gave a partial view of service quality.

"Agilent's W-CDMA drive test system has already proven its worth with 3G service providers in early trials of 3G networks," said Eric McHenry, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Wireless Network Test Division. "The integration of UbiNetics' technology means we can offer customers a complete drive test solution that will ensure the delivery of quality 3G services." UbiNetics' TM200 3G Test Mobile is a compact, battery-powered device that not only has the capabilities of a 3GPP W-CDMA terminal, but can also carry out a wide range of measurements and test functions. It builds on the proven technology in UbiNetics' TM100, used by the world's leading infrastructure developers since its launch in 1999. Agilent's W-CDMA Drive Test System consists of software and a DSP-based measurement receiver that analyzes network conditions. Combined with the TM200, service providers can now measure network performance from a single platform with both a network-independent receiver and a 3G test mobile. This enables end-to-end quality of service measurements giving service providers confidence that the quality and coverage of their 3G networks will meet customers' expectations. U.S. Availability The Agilent UMTS Drive Test System with the test mobile enhancements is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2002.
