Burnham, England —April 18, 2006—Aeroflex today announced it has added EvDO Revision A support to its 6402 CDMA AIME network emulation platform. The EvDO Revision A capability will provide test support for device development, signaling conformance and interoperability as well as applications development.

The addition of EvDO Revision A technology to networks improves data rates and provides advanced quality of service capabilities, which better facilitates video streaming and VoIP applications. Aeroflex’s aggressive introduction of a development and protocol conformance test capability for this new technology reflects industry demand for early access to a complete test solution to ensure timely, successful roll-out of EvDO Revision A devices and applications.

The EvDO Revision A test capability is shipping immediately on all new Aeroflex 6402 CDMA AIME test platforms, but is also available as an upgrade to existing systems.

“Early availability of a complete test solution is critical to the successful roll-out of EvDO Rev A devices and applications,” said Bruce Jolly, CDMA product manager, Aeroflex Test Solutions, Wireless Division. “Since EvDO Revision A support is also an upgrade to our customer’s existing 6402 CDMA AIME systems, our test platform provides customers with a cost-effective solution quickly.”
