Whats happening in the Mobile WiMAX

(802.16e-2005) Optimization market?
Increasing Interoperability Testing (IOT)
NEMS are testing with more devices

Increases the number of potential WiMAX devices that can be used to test the Service
Every Chipset has a different interface Requires careful investment before adding
Each Chipset provides different level of engineering data Must choose wisely
Next Generation of Chipsets are now appearing and the Cycle is starting again

Acknowledged requirement to have WiMAX Receiver Measurements

(not just a Commercial CPE Device for phone measurements)
Phone reporting rates not frequent enough inherent in how WiMAX functions
Developers, NEMS, Operators all want an independent perspective.

In this environment of change, Agilent Drive Test continues to evolve to meet the needs
