"Addressing interoperability head-on is very important. It is the number
one reason TEMs (telecom equipment manufacturers) aren't reaching the
mainstream market for standards-based communications platforms. Once this is
tackled, other challenges such as availability and management can be
effectively addressed. By developing a consistent methodology for
interoperability testing, CP-TA is a logical choice to take on these
challenges and help deliver the promise of interoperability that has been
unfilled to date."

Polaris Networks was founded in 2003 by a group of former
Agilent Technologies employees to focus on Network technology with
particular emphasis on test tools. Since its inception Polaris Networks
Polaris has quickly gained a reputation for developing and integrating
software for devices that make up Wireless Networks such as LANs, MANs,
RFID, HomePlug and PANs. Today, in addition to helping companies bring
products quickly to market, Polaris also develops and markets a broad range
of test tools.
Among the products marketed by Polaris are the RFID Protocol Analyzer, the
WiMax Conformance Tool (used by the WiMax Forum) and the Network Commander
for monitoring 802.11b/g and 802.11a WLANS. The EPC Global, a worldwide body

certification tools.
The latest addition to Polaris’s family of test tools is the ATCA Tester,
an automated software tool for testing the hardware management software
implementation in ATCA & AMC based building blocks with AdvancedTCA® and
AdvancedMC™ System Management requirements. The tester is the product of
choice for use in interop events and is also used by a large number of
companies for their internal testing needs.
