Korea’s leading test and certification institution Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) has awarded Agilent Technologies Inc.a contract for mobile WiMAX protocol conformance test (PCT). TTA provides mobile WiMAX testing and certification services to the international community and will employ Agilent's N6430A mobile WiMAX PCT and development system in its base and mobile station test solution.

"This contract demonstrates our strength in WiMAX protocol conformance testing, as part of Agilent's portfolio of solutions across the entire R&D lifecycle, said Niels Faché, vice president and general manager of Agilent's mobile broadband division.."

Agilent's N6430A PCT solution delivers a comprehensive suite of test solutions for 802.16-2004/Cor2 D3 Mobile WiMAX PCT and development testing, with a scripting interface to a fully functional radio bearer. The Agilent E6651A portfolio of solutions supports multiple R&D testing needs in addition to PCT, including basestation emulation, RF parametric measurements and radiated performance testing (RPT).

In November 2006, the TTA was assigned as a WiMAX Forum Designated Certification Laboratory (WFDCL), the second institution in the world to obtain the WFDCL operation contract. Under the WFDCL contract, the TTA can officially provide mobile WiMAX testing and certification to the international community. TTA tested products will feature the internationally certified test result as well as the certification symbol.
