The Agilent Signaling Analyzer family provides a high-performance solution for 2, 2.5 and 3G system verification, troubleshooting, and RAN optimization. Its intelligent call trace-centric approach enables distributed call trace, performance measurements, and drill-down problem isolation for calls on UMTS, GSM, TD-SCDMA, CDMA and WiMAX RANs, as well as the mobile core, IMS, PSTN and Internet.

The modular design and flexibility of Signaling Analyzer solutions allows technology teams to identify potential problems and resolve faults quickly and effectively - with product configurations to exactly match engineers' differing needs. Key features such as hardware filtering, automatic configuration, multiple interface call/data session tracing, and built-in statistics help to identify and pinpoint problems and detect trends that affect customer satisfaction. The Signaling Analyzer has an intuitive graphical interface that makes it popular with both new and experienced network engineers. Its design makes it ideal for use in distributed as well as centralized test environments.
