Agilent Technologies (NYSE: A) today announced that Bureau Veritas ADT, a Taiwan WiMAX™ testing and certification company, awarded Agilent a contract for Mobile WiMAX Protocol Conformance Test (PCT). Bureau Veritas ADT provides Mobile WiMAX testing and certification services to the international community and will use Agilent's N6430A Mobile WiMAX PCT System to deliver WiMAX certification services.
"Bureau Veritas ADT was the first WiMAX certification lab to be approved in Asia," said C. J. Meurell, European Operations general manager of Agilent's WiMAX and WLAN one-box-tester products. "We're pleased that they have selected the Agilent N6430A to perform protocol conformance testing."
