Representing a significant investment, the Agilent Laboratory is one the most advanced of its type in Europe. Equipped with sophisticated communication testing equipment traditionally the domain of large companies, the laboratory focuses on the design and testing of high-performance electronic communication systems.
Consultancy can be provided on a range of computer network and communication systems technologies. Cisco Certified Network Professional, Dr Ian Wells has expertise in routing protocols, advanced switched networks, remote access technologies, wireless LANs, voice over IP and network security, for instance. Signal processing, speech technology, and ASIC design are amongst other areas in which consultancy can be provided.
Examples of potential design and testing includes:
| Wireless network function testing | Simulated signals check the performance of wireless networks |
| Interference analysis | As ever, interference is a key issue for electronic communications |
| Optical fibre testing | Chromatic dispersion is a key issue for optical fibre communications |
| Dense wavelength division multiplexing | Modifying optical signals by colouring them means that their capacity can be increased and higher data rates can be achieved |
Experiments that can be seen today in the Agilent Laboratory are described below.
