Agilent Technologies and Beceem Communications have signed an agreement to develop high-speed manufacturing test solutions for mobile WiMAX devices based on the IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard.
Under the agreement, Agilent will initially develop a new test system based on the MXA Signal Analyzer and MXG Signal Generator for WiMAX, and Agilent's test executive and control software.
This test system will be optimized to directly control Beceem's MS120 baseband and RF chipset and the WiMAX modem software, enabling the highest possible measurement throughput.
Beceem will certify Agilent's test systems for use by manufacturers that are developing mobile WiMAX products based on the MS120 chipset.
