SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today enhanced its portfolio of products for testing 2G, 3G and LTE devices with the introduction of N5972A Interactive Functional Test software. The company also made available new IFT automation scripts based on network operator compliance test plans, including inter-RAT handover, simultaneous voice and data, data throughput and battery drain.

These solutions enable developers and operators to quickly and repeatedly generate measurement reports in accordance with operators’ compliance test plans.

Smartphones and data cards are complex devices with multiple radios promising ever-increasing data rates and supporting a broad array of software applications. To deliver a positive end-user experience, equipment needs to exceed customer expectations, which leads developers and operators to increase their focus on testing the real-world performance of each design before deployment on their networks. Such performance testing goes well beyond traditional conformance tests defined by the industry’s standards bodies.
