Ismaning/Chessington, March 13, 2003 - Willtek Communications announces the new CDMA2000 System Option for its popular 4400 Mobile Phone Tester series. With this new option, the 4400 has the capability to test subscriber terminals that are based on cdmaOne/CDMA2000 technology, making it the most costeffective test solution for those in the manufacturing, service and repair markets requiring a multi-technology platform.

The 4400 currently provides fast, accurate and reliable testing for GSM/GPRS terminals. Combined with its CDMA capability, the 4400 offers a universal solution that dramatically reduces both the test cost of each device and production downtime because one system can easily switch from one technology to another. 3G system options are being developed.

With the CDMA2000 System Option, the 4400 series provides a solution for both the manufacturing and high-end service markets addressing the high capital expenditures that are required to set up a service and repair business with the proper test equipment.

The new CDMA option offers cdmaOne/CDMA2000 call processing, power measurements including min/max power, open loop power, gated power, closed loop power and access probe power, modulation quality measurement including waveform quality and code domain measurement, and receiver performance testing including receiver sensitivity and dynamic range using the FER feature.

The 4400 series is not only the most cost-effective test solution for the high-price manufacturing market, where modern mobile phone production lines require accuracy and speed. It also provides solutions which are scalable in capabilities, accuracy and price. This allows customers in R&D, manufacturing and service to choose an individual product from the 4400 series and still benefit from synergies when using the same 4400-based test applications, either remote-controlled or through RAPID!. The latter is a unique feature of the 4400 series and ideal for easy test automation. The range of system options and application options more than justify the initial investment in this future-proof platform.

For high-end service centers and repair depots needing to do fast troubleshooting, repairing and aligning of cdmaOne/CDMA2000/GSM/GPRS capable terminals, the 4403 is the ideal solution as it now simultaneously supports a wide range of protocols when the corresponding system option is purchased. For the manufacturing segment, the 4405 with the CDMA option is the most cost-effective, complete test solution on the market. With optional services including worldwide applications support, ATE integration, and on-site integration and calibration programs, the 4400 is not just another stand-alone test instrument but a true “test solution”.

The 4400 Series includes other valuable features such as built-in RAPID!, for stand-alone automated procedures, audio testing, and a TCP/IP option that enables networking capabilities.
