Capable of testing cellular digital packet data (CDPD) features on wireless modems and cellular handsets, a software test suite is available for use with the 2959 advanced multi-mode cellular test set. The suite allows users to test the CDPD performance of devices operating at 19.2 kb/s, as well as power levels and block error rates and protocol performance.

It also includes troubleshooting features for AMPS and TDMA (IS-136A) testing. The 2959 with the new software suite included is priced at $17,995. Option AC1081, an upgrade for existing 2959 users, costs $1,995 and users of MicroCell 100 test systems upgrade via option AC1082 for $4,995.
