Test Labs
A top priority of the CWG this year is ensuring that the WiMAX Forum
Certification program is ready for launch by the end of this year, when
vendor equipment is expected to be available. A major milestone is the
selection of WiMAX Forum Certification Labs, which began more than eight
months ago and is scheduled to be completed early summer 2004.
TSS&TP
One milestone CWG has already accomplished is selection of a vendor to work
with the Forum to develop the Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP)
document. Contract negotiations with the vendor are currently ongoing to
close the agreement and start working on the TSS&TP.
Test Equipment
To enable MAC and PHY conformance testing, CWG issued RFPs to a number of
test equipment vendors requesting proposals for developing a protocol
analyzer. The basic Phase 1 protocol analyzer is expected to be available by
the end of this year and will have limited functionality but enable WiMAX
Forum Certification testing to commence. The plan is that in phase two and
phase three, the functionality of the protocol analyzer will be enhanced to
become instrument grade, off-the-shelf test equipment.
