TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies to Present at LTE & HSPA Evolution Conference Asia

October 8, 2008 3:01 AM EDT

HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that Moray Rumney, lead technologist at Agilent, will present his paper titled "Identifying Affordable Technology to Deliver the Mobile Broadband Vision" here this week at the mobile industry conference LTE & HSPA Evolution Asia. Mr. Rumney and other leading strategists and technologists will share their views on service strategies, business challenges and evolution plans for LTE and HSPA. The conference is attended by key Asian and international mobile operators who have a major stake in future high-speed data services.

Mr. Rumney has 24 years' experience with Hewlett-Packard and Agilent and has been involved in mobile phone standardization since 1991. He contributed significantly to the development of the W-CDMA air interface and corresponding conformance tests that have now evolved to incorporate HSDPA, HSUPA and LTE. His earlier work involved the standardization of the GSM air interface and type approval tests. In addition to standards work, Mr. Rumney is a technical advisor for Agilent's next-generation RF and system simulator products.

    The key topics of Mr. Rumney's paper:

    --  practical performance gains for HSPA+ and LTE;

    --  historical and future growth in wireless system capacity;

    --  spectral efficiency, spectrum availability, cell size;

    --  the link between spectral efficiency, system cost and system
        complexity; and

    --  femtocells and WiFi as part of the wireless ecosystem.

"As broadband Internet access becomes increasingly dominant in Asia, the Asian mobile industry will have to continually seek innovation," said Horace Chung, Wireless Market Segment manager at Agilent. "This industry conference is one of the best ways to keep abreast of new developments and share market information and insight. As a global technology leader, Agilent is pleased to participate and share our research insights with the industry."

    Agilent will also demonstrate the following at the conference:

    --  LTE MIMO and fading test with the Agilent N5106A PXB MIMO
        Receiver Tester: Agilent PXB MIMO receiver tester transforms
        complex MIMO channel emulation into a calibrated and
        repeatable test process for R&D engineers developing BTS or
        mobile receivers. The Agilent PXB supports all the major
        wireless standards, including WiMAX and LTE.

    --  Signaling analysis for LTE network interface using Agilent's
        J6804A Distributed Network Analyzer: For mobile network
        equipment manufacturers and service providers, the Agilent
        signaling analyzer is a single scalable, distributed,
        troubleshooting tool that identifies and isolates customer
        problems in equipment-integration test and final system
        integration as well as in network trials, deployment and
        optimization. This is the only integrated high-density,
        high-performance solution for Gigabit Ethernet analysis on the
        market for mobile network analysis.

    --  HSPA mobile handset testing with the Agilent E5515C Wireless
        Communications Test Set: Agilent's new 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and 5.7
        Mbps HSUPA test capability for its W-CDMA/HSPA Test and Lab
        Applications runs on the Agilent Wireless Communications Test
        Set. With the addition of the 5.7 Mbps HSUPA test capability,
        Agilent's W-CDMA/HSPA one-box test set continues to provide
        the latest standards-compliant RF measurements coupled with
        industry-leading data rate performance.
