TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies to Demonstrate WiMAX(tm), 3GPP LTE Test Solutions at CTIA Wireless 2008

LAS VEGAS--(Business Wire)--
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) will demonstrate its full-range
portfolio of WiMAX and 3GPP LTE test solutions here at CTIA Wireless
2008, Booth 3110, April 1-3. Agilent's test solutions address the
needs of chipset and handset designers and manufacturers, network
equipment manufacturers, infrastructure designers and service
providers.

"Agilent is committed to delivering solutions for the test
technology needs of next-generation wireless," said Ron Nersesian,
vice president of Agilent's Wireless Business Unit, "and we still
address the demanding requirements of the existing communication
environment. Both landscapes must have a full range of innovative test
products and applications that only Agilent can address."

With wireless technology such as WiMAX and 3GPP LTE rapidly
advancing toward greater delivery speeds, wider access and
convergence, communications companies need application-specific design
and test tools that can evolve and meet these changing demands. At
CTIA Wireless 2008, Agilent will demonstrate products that address
these changing demands.

WiMAX R&D, Manufacturing and Field Service Tools

Agilent test solutions in WiMAX span the entire technology life
cycle -- R&D, design verification and pre-conformance, conformance,
manufacturing through network deployment, and service assurance. CTIA
attendees will see:

-- Signal creation and analysis software that provides a complete
solution for Wave 2 Mobile WiMAX(tm) and MIMO development
using Agilent Infiniium scopes and MXG signal generators,
including a new MXG option to provide RF phase coherency.

-- Wave 2 MIMO testing capability that features Agilent's E6651A
one box WiMAX tester, demonstrating conformance test (PCT and
pre-RCT), radiated performance test, end-to-end data transfer,
and network entry/data connection.

-- The recently introduced N8300A Wireless Networking Test Set,
which provides fast performance and accurate measurements
optimized for Wave 2 Mobile WiMAX Manufacturing Test.

-- The Agilent J7910A signalling analyzer WiMAX solution, which
offers a breakthrough in troubleshooting methodology, with the
industry's most powerful, easy-to-use WiMAX analysis software
that service providers and network equipment manufacturers can
use to accelerate the development and deployment of WiMAX
networks.

-- Agilent WiMAX Drive Test system, with real-time collection and
display as well as mapping of WiMAX PHY parameters and MAC
Protocol (full decodes).

3GPP LTE Signal Analysis and Generation Tools

Agilent's 3GPP LTE design automation tools and flexible
instrumentation serve the entire UE lifecycle. At CTIA, Agilent will
demonstrate:

-- New 3GPP LTE protocol development solutions based on the
Agilent E6620A Wireless Communications Test Set, along with
the Anite SAT LTE Protocol Development Toolset available
through the Agilent/Anite LTE partnership announced in
November 2007. This first-to-market solution is ideal for
engineers working in early protocol design of LTE mobile
phones. It is the first in a portfolio of scalable LTE
solutions built on the E6620A's advanced, next-generation
hardware platform and protocol stack.

-- The Agilent J7910A signaling analyzer real-time platform,
which now includes LTE and SAE technology. For mobile network
equipment manufacturers and service providers, this is the
only integrated high-density, high-performance solution for
Gigabit Ethernet analysis on the market for mobile network
analysis.

-- The Agilent MXA signal analyzer with the industry's most
comprehensive Vector Signal Analysis LTE software, along with
Agilent's MXG vector signal generator, which has the
industry's most powerful LTE Signal Studio software.

Comprehensive Communications Test Solutions

-- Agilent will show its 8960 wireless communications test set
with a new automated and simplified interface for
realistically testing "the user experience." This solution
stress tests cellular mobile devices in real-world network
scenarios, allowing earlier identification of design issues
and a reduction in time to market.

-- Agilent will also demonstrate its tools for cellular R&D,
manufacturing, repair, cable, antenna and base-station
maintenance. These are the tools that companies designing,
building and deploying the latest-generation products and
services for WiMAX, UMTS, HSDPA, W-CDMA, EGPRS, GPRS and GSM,
Bluetooth(r), ZigBee, UWB and others use.
