Tektronix supports latest UMTS release

BANGALORE -- Tektronix, Inc., a leading provider of test, measurement, and monitoring solutions for mobile equipment manufacturers and operators, has announced its protocol test support feature for latest universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) standard release.

UMTS release 4 (R4) is the next step in migration towards full implementation of 3G UMTS networks. In order to meet the requirements of each new release and to meet delivery deadlines for UMTS elements, mobile equipment manufacturers are challenged to test the compliance of their existing products against the newest specifications. In fact when a new standard is introduced, equipment manufacturers are challenged to perform a variety of mandatory tests to comply with the new specifications. Tektronix K1297-G20 protocol tester, a proven tool for 2G/2.5G/3G testing, is positioned to address these mandatory measurements.

K1297-G20 V2.40 is equipped with test case development tools to enable definition and modification of messages and message sequences and to create scenarios that examine specific functions of network elements. In addition, the test automation feature enables engineers to quickly perform essential regression tests to ensure intended standards specifications have been implemented correctly and that no unintended changes have been introduced.

The monitoring capabilities of the K1297-G20 V2.40 provide a full set of processing applications and allows decoding to the bit level, enabling engineers to observe behavior in selected interfaces in the network as they implement UMTS R4 specifications.
