ATSUGI-CITY, Kanagawa, Japan -- Anritsu Corporation (6754)
announces the completion of the first 3GPP HSUPA protocol conformance test
case. A key milestone for 3G, this represents a huge step forward, enabling
the mobile industry to deliver commercially available HSUPA terminals.
HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) is a critical
element in the delivery of high speed data rates on 3G mobile networks. This
latest extension of 3G technology provides a major improvement to data
transfer rates from the mobile terminal to the network by increasing uplink
speeds from 384kbps to 5.7Mbps.
Availability of conformance test cases is critical for the
certification of terminals that is required before commercial deployment,
enabling the industry to finally deliver the range of mobile products and
applications that will meet market and consumer expectation for the
technology.
Anritsu is the first test and measurement company to submit
such a test case to the 3GPP, building on their long term reputation as a
leading supplier of W-CDMA test solutions for mobile terminals.
The company continues to work at the forefront of 3G and
3.5G mobile test technology and has worked closely with the leading mobile
terminal equipment suppliers within the industry to deliver this test case.
Part of the 3GPP Release 6 specification, the TS34.123 test case 8.2.6.50
was submitted to the 3GPP RAN-5 working group for approval in early
September.
The test case was debugged on Anritsu's Protocol Test System
(PTS) and builds on the highly successful MD8480C W-CDMA Signalling Tester
for
WCDMA/GSM/GPRS and HSDPA/HSUPA terminals launched earlier this year.
