“Ixia welcomes Agilent N2X customers to the Ixia family,” said Atul Bhatnagar, President and CEO, Ixia. “Through Fusion, we will create a new kind of industry leader – one built on total customer satisfaction, world-class engineering and best-of-breed products. We are committed to leading the industry with open, market-unifying architectures and interoperability, thereby significantly increasing the value for our customers.”

Fusion will:
