GSMA MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS, BARCELONA, Spain, February 13 /PRNewswire/ --     Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) and Runcom Technologies Ltd. today
announced they will extend their WiMAX(TM) collaboration to include Mobile
WiMAX Wave 2 Protocol Test.

All WiMAX(TM) devices must undergo protocol conformance test (PCT) to
become certified for use. To realize the promise of interoperability, the
WiMAX industry relies on traceable and effective protocol test solutions. The
assurance of interoperability between WiMAX reference designs and protocol
test equipment creates customer confidence and enables industry growth.

Agilent and Runcom will ensure that their customers can confidently use
Runcom Mobile WiMAX reference designs with Agilent protocol test systems.
Both companies will verify that their designs are faithful implementations of
the relevant standards, bringing robust solutions to the market.

The Agilent N6430A WiMAX Protocol Conformance Test and Development
Solution, based on Agilent's E6651A Mobile WiMAX Test Set, is undergoing
pre-validation testing at a WiMAX Forum(R) testing laboratory using mobile
terminals and base stations that use Runcom Mobile WiMAX chips.

"We are very enthusiastic about the development of a PCT partnership with
Runcom," said C. J. Meurell, European operations general manager for
Agilent's Mobile Broadband Division's WiMAX/WLAN portfolio. "Our relationship
will accelerate the progress of both companies as we move ahead with Mobile
WiMAX Wave 2. Runcom has been a pioneer of WiMAX and we feel fortunate to be
able to partner with them on the development of PCT."

Runcom Technologies is a leading supplier of chipsets for the IEEE
802.16e-2005 standard on which WiMAX Forum mobile profiles are based. Runcom
is a world pioneer in the development of state-of-the-art OFDMA silicon
solutions for fixed and mobile WiMAX user-terminals and base-stations. The
RNA200 ASIC was the first Mobile WiMAX compliant ASIC on the market.

"Our customers need independent and robust PCT solutions to be available,
and we are keen to support this," said Israel Koffman, Runcom's vice
president of Marketing. "Working with the wireless industry's test leader,
Agilent, means that our customers can count on solutions that work with our
designs wherever they are in the world. Agilent's ability to test terminals,
base stations, protocol, RF and application performance is a unique value
proposition that we believe will benefit our customers."
