Agilent Technologies to Show Newest Mobile Communications Test, Measurement Solutions at CTIA Wireless 2009

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) will demonstrate a comprehensive set of test
and measurement solutions for the mobile communications market at CTIA Wireless
2009, Booth 7518, Las Vegas, Nev., April 1-3. Agilent`s test solutions enable
engineers in R&D and manufacturing, deployment and maintenance to develop and
deliver innovative products for current and future demands in the rapidly
evolving, cost-competitive mobile communication market.

The Agilent solutions address:

* HSPA+,
* E-EDGE (EDGE Evolution),
* WiMAX(tm),
* WiMAX(tm), UMA/GAN,
* 3GPP W-CDMA,
* GSM,
* 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE),
* femtocell solutions, and
* Drive Test for VoIP.

"Our newest test and measurement solutions demonstrate our commitment to empower
engineers to stay at the forefront of this evolving mobile-communications
market," said Ron Nersesian, senior vice president and general manager of the
company`s Electronic Measurement Group.

CTIA Wireless show participants will see Agilent demonstrate:

Mobile Design and Development

* MIMO channel emulation and co-existence test, solved with the Agilent N5106A
PXB MIMO receiver tester. The Agilent PXB MIMO receiver tester transforms
complex channel emulation up to 4x2 MIMO into a calibrated and repeatable test
process for R&D engineers developing BTS or mobile receivers. The Agilent PXB
supports all major wireless standards, including WiMAX and LTE.
* MIMO LTE signal analysis. Agilent`s advanced 89600 Series Vector Signal
Analysis software and MXA signal analyzers will be featured, demonstrating
low-cost, high-performance 2x2 MIMO LTE signal analysis. The analyzers enable
design engineers to move forward in MIMO design and implementation, providing
deep signal insight and troubleshooting, and shortening their time-to-market.
* Industry-leading mobile test solutions for HSPA+, HSDPA, E-EDGE, UMA/GAN and
GPS with the Agilent 8960 Wireless Communications Test Set, as well as GO/NO GO
UMTS mobile test capability from the Agilent N9360A Mobile Station Tester.
* LTE RF measurements and LTE high-definition video streaming using an LTE
device simulator. The Agilent E6620A LTE wireless communications test set for
LTE UE designers uses a common 3GPP-compliant LTE protocol stack to provide a
portfolio of solutions across the entire R&D life cycle.
* GPS performance and functionality with a cost-effective desktop solution.
Using Agilent`s 8960 Cellular Communications Test Set and E4438C ESG Vector
Signal Generator, it provides the ability to verify A-GPS performance on a bench
top. A user can functionally validate time to first fix for the Satellite ID and
C/N ratio thereby delivering a much lower cost than conformance test.
* Measurement and analysis of current drain while exercising mobile applications
and network conditions with Agilent`s 8960 Cellular Communications Test Set and
E6703E W-CDMA/HSPA lab application.

Wireless Network Monitoring and Analysis

Agilent`s new Drive Test VoIP solution allows network equipment manufacturers
and wireless service providers to integrate voice-quality measurements with
drive test RF data used in the optimization of wireless networks. The new
solution provides end-to-end service quality measurements of SIP-based VoIP
communication. The VoIP test sequence has been added to Agilent`s proven drive
test platform, which supports RF measurements for all established wireless
technologies.

Agilent`s Signal Analyzer Real Time (SART) for Femto supports standards-based
and proprietary implementations of the still emerging Femto technology.
Deployment of femtocells allows operators to offload traffic from outdoor macro
networks to broadband-based access points within residences or offices. SART for
Femto interprets, correlates and analyzes protocol signaling messages on both
sides of the gateway that connects a femtocell to the serving mobile network.
The solution`s real-time diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities enable
users to move quickly from the lab through trials to successful deployments,
scale for growth, and provide detailed historical data analysis.

Wireless Installation and Maintenance

Agilent`s FieldFox RF Analyzer is the world`s most integrated handheld analyzer.
Its key measurements include cable and antenna test from 2 MHz to 4/6 GHz,
spectrum analysis from 100 kHz to 4/6 GHz, vector network analysis, vector
voltmeter and true average power measurements. FieldFox is the first and only RF
tool for base station installation and maintenance (I&M) that is
calibration-ready at the test port. FieldFox is rugged, compact and lightweight
with test times more than 50 percent faster than I&M testers.
