New product suite to support P25 protocol
Aeroflex and Etherstack have agreed to jointly develop and market a suite of products to support Project 25 (P25) protocol conformance testing. The new products will help ensure mobile stations and base stations conform to the APCO Project 25 family of standards and bulletins published by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
The suite, which will consist of applications software developed by Etherstack to run on a personal computer and the Aeroflex 3900 radio test set, will have the capability of performing base station emulation for protocol testing mobile stations, mobile station emulation for the protocol testing of base stations and synchronised inbound and outbound off-air protocol analysers.
"This is an obvious alliance of two technology leaders", said David Deacon, managing director and CEO of Etherstack. "We will be building on our synergies to provide complete APCO P25 test solutions in this rapid growth area of our industry."
"This agreement will provide the P25 community with comprehensive tests for verifying operation of their base radio and mobile radio solutions", said Rob Barden, director of product marketing for radio test solutions, Aeroflex. "Together, Etherstack and Aeroflex are taking P25 testing to the next level."
