Wireless Networks

The New Network is Mobile

Can your EPC device process massive amounts of data and handle millions of control plane transactions per second?

Does your eNodeB device perform radio resource scheduling and uplink/downlink rate limiting to enforce policy decisions and QoS characteristics associated to different service and subscriber types on the network?

Do your link OAM and service OAM protocols and IEEE 1588v2 and ITU-T Sync-E Ethernet synchronization protocols measure up?

We are entering the mobile broadband era, and mobile operators are preparing their networks to handle massive amounts of multiplay traffic (voice, video, and data). 3G HSPA/HSPA+ rollouts are ongoing, and LTE commercial deployments are rapidly accelerating. New wireless technologies promise to not only supply additional capacity, but allow operators to more intelligently manage the traffic on their networks through improved policy management. Emerging 4G technologies are complex, and must be backwards compatible with existing 2G and 3G technologies for a seamless transition and a positive user experience. Ixia's cutting edge wireless test solutions and deep knowledge of the wireless market can help you understand what to test for, why to test, and how to test existing and emerging wireless technologies in the most cost effective and efficient manner.
