HSUPA Test Services now coming to Americas!
7 layers
upgraded its Irvine test and service center with HSUPA test capabilities
from Rohde & Schwarz. 7 layers operates independent laboratories for
wireless technologies, accredited in accordance to ISO 17025. By adding
these new services to their already extensive test capabilities for the
mobile industry, it will become the first independent laboratory in
North America that can run the required HSUPA test cases locally.
HSUPA
(High Speed Uplink Packet Access) is a 3G mobile telephony protocol
belonging to the HSPA family. This advanced technology facilitates more
creative applications demanding high data throughput – for example –
uploading multimedia data to the Internet and person-to-person gaming.
“2008
has seen a large increase in the number of HSUPA available devices and
we expect this trend to continue, especially since more and more
networks are now able to support the HSUPA technology”, says David
Bissonette, Vice President Business Development of 7 layers Inc.
“Extending our laboratory capabilities with HSUPA services is a logical
development regarding the way the market is taking to this new
technology.”
“In
order to make 7 layers Inc. capable to offer these new services we will
upgrade their existing Rohde & Schwarz test equipment, the R&S CRTU-W’s,
R&S TS8950W, and R&S CRTU-RRM system”, says Michael Gieselman, US
Western Region Sales Manager from Rohde & Schwarz. “We expect all test
systems to be fully functional in Irvine by End of August.”
The 7
layers group has already gained experience with HSUPA testing and
certification via their laboratory in Germany. By offering HSUPA
services now also in the USA, clients can benefit from these experiences
and enjoy the convenience of local service at the same time.
