The Agilent E5515C hardware platform for the 8960 Series 10 wireless communication test set is the only test set with both RF and high data rate test performance for real-world mobile device test – across the lifecycle. The E5515C test set paired with technology-specific test applications and lab applications provide a tailored solution for your testing needs. Automated software packages are available to control the E5515C to automate RF test (using Wireless Test Managers) and functional test (using Interactive Functional Test software). The use of a common platform across the lifecycle enhances communication between engineering groups and speeds time-to-market while reducing asset management workloads across the business.

The proven 8960 test applications, developed for high-volume, automated mobile phone manufacturing test, offer speed, accuracy, repeatability, and ease of programming, all on the format-flexible E5515C architecture. For the mobile manufacturer, this translates into lower test costs and higher production output to help meet customer demand for phones now and into the future.

Agilent’s E5515C one-box test set offers network simulation and software verification tools designed specifically for the needs of wireless developers doing software design verification and integration. These test solutions offer realistic network simulation and give you Internet connectivity with real data traffic flows. Additional capability is provided with extensive real-time protocol logging and analysis tools.
