BEAVERTON, Ore. -- Tektronix, Inc. (NYSE: TEK), an innovator in test, measurement and monitoring solutions for mobile equipment manufacturers and operators, today announced a new solution for real-time monitoring and analysis of the latest Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) mobile networks elements. UMTS network elements are much more complex to test than second generation (2G, 2.5G) components and continue to require fast, accurate verification at each interface. With this increased complexity and the evolving nature of UMTS element development, many of today's test solutions fail to completely address critical interfaces and protocols. Tektronix' newest software release for the K1297-G20 protocol tester, Version 2.01 (V2.01), adds important pieces to the UMTS "puzzle." Most significantly, V2.01 includes Dynamic Monitoring, an innovative feature that provides the first real-time analysis on the Iub interface, eliminating the need for post processing of data. "By providing Dynamic Monitoring, Tektronix is paving the way for faster UMTS mobile network design, enabling operators' success in a challenging market," said Bob Agnes, Vice President, Monitoring and Protocol Test, Tektronix. "With this significant feature available only on the K1297-G20 protocol test platform, manufacturers and operators are closer than ever to successful UMTS deployment." Tektronix Inc.
