Spirent Automates 3G Applications Evaluation

7th June , 2004

US : Spirent Communications announced that Verizon Wireless has selected its APEX C2K Applications Performance Test Platform to verify the performance and reliability of resident and downloadable software applications for 3G wireless handsets.

"As part of Verizon Wireless' stringent handset-testing process, Spirent's APEX C2K platform has made the evaluation cycle shorter and increased the thoroughness of our testing of advanced applications and features," said Lou LaMedica, executive director - CPE evaluation and development at Verizon Wireless. "With the number and complexity of our 3G applications constantly increasing, it's critical that we ensure the handsets we approve for our network can smoothly deliver these advanced features and applications to Verizon Wireless customers."

"Working with Verizon Wireless has allowed Spirent to ensure that the APEX C2K accurately reflects the needs of wireless customers," states Rob VanBrunt, vice president of wireless product marketing for Spirent Communications. "Verizon Wireless' feedback has allowed us to design a platform powerful enough to automate performance testing for the latest wireless data applications, yet flexible enough to grow as new test requirements evolve."

CDMA handset testing is evolving from minimum performance and interoperability testing to more advanced application performance and end-user experience testing. Spirent's APEX C2K platform is a scalable test solution designed to meet the evolving needs of wireless application development. Spirent is targeting the system's advanced automation to address a key weakness in existing test methodologies: Up to now, testing of CDMA2000 1X features, such as Mobile IP, has largely been a manual, time-consuming process. While solutions exist to perform some elements of application and feature testing, APEX C2K is the first integrated platform to automate this analysis. This automation allows for a large number of test cases to be run in a relatively short time, reducing the amount of valuable engineering resource dedicated to test strategy execution.
