WiMAX Forum Selects Tektronix’s Solution As Official Protocol Test Tool

Tektronix Communications has announced that the WiMAX Forum has selected its G35-WiMAX protocol test solution to verify the interoperability of WiMAX network nodes in Mobile WiMAX Forum certified test laboratories around the world.

As part of the WiMAX Forum network interoperability test initiative, reference networks will be set up in all WiMAX Forum test laboratories, against which WiMAX component vendors can test their implementation.

Tektronix Communications’ G35-WiMAX protocol test solution will serve as the reference point to analyze the responses of individual devices in test scenarios specified by the WiMAX Forum.

Ed Agis, chairman of Certification Working Group at WiMAX Forum, said: “Tektronix Communications’ G35 solution provides an ideal platform for the WiMAX Forum to ensure interoperability of WiMAX network elements from different vendors.”
