File under cryptic, or even rumor-starting: Test and measurement specialist Spirent Communications plc said at WiMAX World 2008 that AT4 wireless Inc. will use Spirent to test the interoperability between WiMAX infrastructure and mobile devices, “for the most ambitious North American rollout of WiMAX services to date.” Is that Sprint-Nextel Corp.’s XOHM network?
Spirent’s SR5500 Wireless Channel Emulators will provide RF channel emulation capability to AT4 wireless’ WiMAX interoperability lab.
“We know that this deployment will become a highly visible symbol of WiMAX’s capabilities, so we’ve taken a very serious approach to evaluating all available test solutions required for our test lab to meet our customer demands and requirements," said Jose Aurelio Rodrigo, COO at AT4. "Spirent’s test equipment provides all the features necessary to evaluate complex interoperability scenarios including 4x4 MIMO and mobility, as well as the flexibility and modularity to adapt as our testing needs evolve."
