Mobile Data Market

Wireless technology evolution will improve the user perception of
services/applications and brings it closer to what users experience
in wireline connections.
zMultimedia Messaging: Any combination of photos, video clips,
audio clips, graphics or text can be sent to another mobile handset,
PC or other device. "Mobile broadcasting" of media (such as news) to
many terminals simultaneously is similar to cell broadcasting for SMS.
z Multimedia content: including graphics, video clips, music,
locator services, games and directories formatted especially for
mobile handsets.
zInternet/Extranet Access: Mobile access to e-mail,
rich web content, corporate network resources etc.
zRich Voice: Two-way real-time enhanced
voice, video and other forms of data.

Mobile WiMAX PCT and Agilents Role

PCT intended to ensure interoperability
PCT specification developed by WiMAX Forum to
verify that WiMAX Mobile and Base Stations
conform to the IEEE802.16e-2005 standard
Once the systems have been validated, they can
be used not just for protocol testing, but for protocol
conformance testing
PCT testing will become a mandatory part of the
WiMAX equipment certification process
Agilent is in the validation process
(No PCT systems are validated yet)

Agilents PCT system

Based on E6651A Mobile WiMAX Test Set platform
Adds external PC software to the E6651A, allowing standard and non-standard TTCN-3 test cases to
be executed
Common hardware can support future WiMAX profiles
Global distribution and support
