HSPA Testing

HSPA is a reality.  As of there are 104 HSDPA networks commercially launched in 54 countries and in total 156 operators in 72 countries have confirmed interest and planning, deploying, trialing or have launched HSDPA-enabled mobile broadband services.

HSPA is currently dominanting the market as the broadband wireless technology of choice.

The smooth and reliable implementation of HSPA is critical to enable end-users to enjoy multi-play services, contributing to ARPU growth for Mobile Operators.

As technology and standards rapidly evolve and QoS is a critical success factor, Test and Measurement is again a key enabler in the business strategies of all Mobile Communications Players.

With an unmatched expertise and a range of leading-edge test solutions, Tektronix enables the effective and reliable development, field testing and operation of HSPA networks, reducing both the technology risk and the business risk, and making a difference on the path to success.
