Spirent Communications (NYSE:SPM) (LSE:SPT), the leading globalprovider of navigation and positioning test systems, announces today anew software suite for the STR4500 GPS simulator. The new SimPLEX45adds scenario generation capability to Spirent's replay-only STR4500system to allow users to generate their own test cases based onmotion-data that fits their specific requirements. £ Since its launch in 2001, the STR4500 has revolutionized the wayGPS receivers and systems are tested, allowing pre-defined test casesto be replayed using a PC-based controller with sophisticated andcompact RF signal generator hardware. Typical users of the STR4500 areinvolved with the selection, integration, verification or productiontest of GPS L1 C/A code systems. The new SimPLEX45 software enablesunique test cases to be generated, saved and run directly by the user.SimPLEX45 also enables user-defined motion-data to be used withatmospheric models and the environment around the vehicle. £ "This new software will enable our customers to drive a route and,using logged NMEA data, generate a trajectory for a test case," saidJohn Pottle, marketing director for Spirent's Wireless & PositioningDivision. "The user also will be able to define the antenna pattern,atmospheric effect and obscuration due to buildings or otherobstructions. We've built this capability into the STR4500 to provideour customers with reduced development times via improved tailoring oftest scenarios to fit their specific needs." £ The SimPLEX45 is available with new systems or as an easy toinstall upgrade to existing STR4500 users. £ About Spirent Communications £ Spirent Communications (www.spirent.com) is a global provider ofintegrated performance analysis and service assurance systems thatenable the development and deployment of next-generation networkingtechnology such as Internet telephony, broadband services, 3Gwireless, global navigation satellite systems, and network securityequipment.
