Agilent Technologies and Altair Semiconductor collaborate
Both companies join forces to help manufacturers speed development of mobile WiMAX devices.
Agilent Technologies and Altair Semiconductor announced they will collaborate to accelerate the development of mobile WiMAX devices. The companies plan to optimise the calibration and verification of Altair's Mobile WiMAX chipset using Agilent's Wireless Networking Test Set. As a result, handheld device manufacturers implementing Altair's Mobile WiMAX chipset will be able to quickly and efficiently test and verify their Mobile WiMAX devices.
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. With its superior specifications and fast manufacturing test time, this solution effectively meets the needs of cell phone, ODM and CM manufacturing engineers testing WiMAX mobile subscriber devices or modules that use IEEE 802.16e-2005.
Altair's ALT2150 is the industry's smallest and lowest power consumption mobile WiMAX baseband processor. Measuring a mere 7x7mm and consuming below 100mW in a 5Mbit/sec download scenario, the ALT2150 is the ideal choice for device and module manufacturers integrating mobile WiMAX in their products.
"Outstanding performance and short test times are key requirements for manufacturers looking to test their mobile WiMAX devices, and they are the key features found in Agilent's N8300A test set," said Niels Fache, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Mobile Broadband Division. "These capabilities, coupled with Altair chipset specific calibration and verification software, will ensure that handheld device manufacturers realise the faster, more efficient calibration and verification test times they demand."
"As an industry leader in manufacturing and conformance solutions, Agilent's depth of expertise will play a crucial role in helping our customers test and verify their designs," said Eran Eshed, co-founder and vice president of Marketing and Business Development at Altair. "Combining our expertise in this strategic partnership will make it easier for manufacturers to integrate Mobile WiMAX into their products, driving development of Mobile WiMAX devices to market faster and more efficiently."
