Agilent Technologies Introduces Vehicle-mounted Display System for Agilent's Wireless Network Optimization Tools

    PALO ALTO, Calif.--April 3, 2000--Agilent Technologies Inc. today introduces the Agilent N3419A vehicle-mounted display system, which improves safety, boosts efficiency, and allows for real-time troubleshooting while using Agilent's wireless network optimization tools.
    This new vehicle-mounted display system consists of a bright display, rugged and adjustable pedestal mounting, and a custom keypad. The system enables wireless network technicians and optimization engineers to easily navigate drive-test software. It is a valuable addition to the Agilent E7473A, E7474A, E7475A CDMA, TDMA and GSM drive-test systems, as well as the Agilent E7490A CDMA over-air maintenance tool.
    The permanently mounted, easy-to-read display puts key RF parameters in clear view, allowing technicians and engineers to examine network impairments as they happen without taking their eyes off the road. Users can take additional steps and immediately re-drive the trouble area to duplicate the impairment, observing information such as time of day, vehicle traffic conditions, location and terrain to aid in solving network impairments. The custom keypad enables users to perform essential functions, such as starting and stopping calls, switching between measurement windows and recording measurements with a single key press. This keypad allows the user to safely troubleshoot RF impairments while driving a vehicle.
