Aeroflex products available through Motorola will consist of test sets for mobile radio handset service, manufacturing, R&D, as well as base station installation, commissioning and maintenance. Interference and noise reduce the quality of wireless communications and make it difficult for customers to stay connected. Tthese products will allow technicians to measure critical RF system parameters to test and align one radio or an entire system. By measuring the whole band or just a particular frequency, technicians are able to use Aeroflex products in the field or on the bench.

"Motorola customers will now have a broader choice in selecting complementary test solutions for their radio and network needs, available from one centralized source," said Bill Delaney, Motorola Communications and Electronics Inc. vice president, Product Operations for Motorola's Radio Products and Services Division. "As part of this agreement, Motorola will be providing a new level of support to its customers with advanced test solutions for mobile and portable radios, wireless networks, and microwave systems."

"This agreement enables Aeroflex to continue to demonstrate its high level of commitment to supporting the land mobile radio and wireless markets," said Jeff Bloomer, Aeroflex Test Solutions COO/CFO. "It also gives our mutual customers the ability to consolidate their radio, network, and test solutions into one complete system purchase, without having to purchase test equipment from other sources."
