Agilent and NextWave Wireless accelerate Mobile WiMAX

18 April 2008

NextWave Wireless will use Agilent’s Wireless Networking Test Set to help accelerate the deployment of Mobile WiMAX devices based on NextWave’s chipsets.

The two companies will collaborate to optimise the speed of RF power-calibration and production-test capabilities for customers designing Mobile WiMAX products based on NextWave’s NW2000 chipset. With Agilent’s optimised support, manufacturers can calibrate and test WiMAX devices with speed and efficiency, claims the company.

The Agilent N8300A is a wireless networking test set and OFDMA measurement application software, forming a complete one-box transmitter and receiver test solution for Mobile WiMAX devices. It effectively meets the needs of mobile phone, ODM and CM manufacturing engineers testing WiMAX mobile subscriber devices or modules that use IEEE 802.16e-2005.

NextWave’s NW2000 WiMAX chipsets delivers high performance, low power consumption and high levels of integration, enabling mobile WiMAX device manufacturers to create cutting edge, multimedia-centric end-user products.

“Agilent’s leadership in manufacturing and conformance solutions will greatly benefit our NW2000 chipset customers in testing and verifying their designs,” said Craig Miller, vice president of marketing for NextWave Wireless, Semiconductor business. “Our customers are eager to get their designs deployed in this fast-growing market, and we believe this collaboration will provide them an important capability to help them achieve their time-to-market goals.”
