Cetecom Labs Utilize Invenova For WiMAX Certification Testing

Malaga, Spain -- Cetecom Labs, the official test lab for WiMAX certification, and Invenova Corporation, a developer of instrumentation, test and measurement systems for standards-based wireless technologies, announced that Invenova's WiMAX test products are being used in the certification testing of WiMAX products.

Cetecom Labs has independently validated the Invenova test systems (Astro8000 series WiMAX Protocol Test and Measurement products) that are currently being used in the WiMAX certification test bed, for WiMAX Wave 1 certification testing.

Invenova and Cetecom Labs have been engaged in close cooperation for the last 1 year in the validation of the WiMAX test suite and test bed.

"Using Invenova's test tools has helped Cetecom conduct conformance and interoperability testing which are key components of the Certfication requirements," said Fernando Hardasmal, Deputy General Manager at Cetecom Labs. "Having validated the Invenova PCT and the WIMAX test bed gave us high confidence as we opened up the lab for the first wave of WiMAX Certification. Invenova has enabled us to reduce the time and expense required to bring up the test bed."

"Invenova is pleased to supply a number of WiMAX test products, including the Protocol Conformance Tester, Sniffer and the Signaling Unit for the Radio Conformance Test Setup, to the WIMAX certification effort. The opportunity to work with Cetecom has enabled us to consolidate our leadership position in the WiMAX test equipment space," said Praveen Kumar, General Manager at Invenova Corporation. "This is a significant milestone and we look forward to providing test tools to the WiMAX community, to help in the deployment, roll out and maintenance of WiMAX networks."
