Ellisys announces automated WiMedia Precompliance Test Solution
Same test solution used to assist at WiMedia Alliance testing events now commercially
available.
Geneva, Switzerland — April 27, 2007 — Ellisys, a leading supplier
of test solutions for USB, Wireless USB and the WiMedia Platform,
today announced the Ellisys WiMedia Precompliance Test Solution. This automated
solution has previously been used at WiMedia Alliance Interoperability and
Compliance testing events, and is now available on a commercial basis so that
manufacturers can test their devices before undergoing the formal compliance
testing required for WiMedia Platform certification.
The Ellisys WiMedia Precompliance Test Solution automatically executes a comprehensive
set of test scripts that implements the entire suite of test scenarios defined
in the new WiMedia Platform Test Specification version 1.1. The test solution
interacts with a device under test, captures all traffic exchanged with the
device to a file, analyzes the traffic to verify compliance behavior, and generates
a compliance report. Any detected issues can then be easily debugged using
the capture file and the included WiMedia protocol analysis software.
The cornerstone of the solution is the Ellisys Compliance Tester software
that coordinates and controls the operation of several products, including
an Ellisys UWB Generator 320 traffic generator, an Ellisys Wireless USB Explorer 300 protocol analyzer, the Ellisys WiMedia analysis software, the Ellisys WiMedia
Platform Test Case Scripts, and the Ellisys WiMedia Platform Background Verification
software. This tight integration of the test solution results in extremely
efficient operation since, once started, it executes tests automatically without
requiring a human test operator.
Laurent Guinnard, President and co-founder of Ellisys, said “Going to
an interoperability and compliance event without extensively testing your device
first is like going in blind. The WiMedia Precompliance Test Solution can help
you prepare and pass certification. Failing a certification test is very costly
since it creates an extra R&D cycle and increases time to market.”
Availability
The Ellisys WiMedia Precompliance Test solution is available now. Please

About the Wireless USB Explorer 300
The Wireless USB Explorer 300 is the first over-the-air WiMedia protocol analyzer
for Ultrawideband and Wireless USB. The modular analyzer's hardware
architecture upgrades easily to accommodate new specifications, ensuring
early adopters of the new technology can plan and develop WiMedia products
with confidence.
About the UWB Generator 320
The Ellisys UWB Generator 320 helps verify product and component reliability
by generating reproducible traffic, timing and error scenarios. Containing
a specialized processor designed specifically for WiMedia Ultrawideband (UWB)
and Wireless USB protocols, it produces sequences of arbitrary frames
with programmable inter-frame delay, and can then wait for any kind of response
frame or event. The processor's instruction set enables developers to emulate
Wireless USB hosts and devices as well as various WiMedia-based devices. Integrated
with Ellisys' leading Ultrawideband and Wireless USB protocol analysis
software, users can reproduce previously-recorded scenarios, or modify them
for testing corner cases and recovery mechanisms.
About Interoperability & Compliance Testing
Interoperability and compliance testing is an essential step towards commercialization
of standards-based products, as it ensures consumer products from various manufacturers
will operate together seamlessly. It validates that the protocol implementations
work properly and so new products will satisfy customer expectations. This
type of testing is of particular importance for emerging communication technologies
like WiMedia, the de-facto standard radio platform for Ultrawideband (UWB)
wireless networking selected by both the Bluetooth SIG and the USB Implementers
Forum as the foundation radio of their high-speed wireless specifications for
next-generation consumer electronics, mobile and computer applications.
About Ellisys
Ellisys is a Test & Measurement company committed to the design and
timely introduction of advanced protocol analysis solutions for USB devices,
Wireless USB and Ultrawideband. Developers have been using Ellisys'
USB products and solutions for more than five years with great success. With
the consumer electronics market moving toward wireless technology Ellisys proves
once again its commitment to the developers' community. By providing WiMedia
and Wireless USB early adopters with the right tools at the right
time Ellisys enables these promising markets to grow in a secure and confident
manner, and ensures a rapid and wide acceptance of these technologies. For
