Figure 3. The engineers and students attending one of Agilent’s seminars gained a better understanding of the value of Agilent’s test and measurement solutions in their various industries. Agilent now has a dominant market share in the base-station test business at China Mobile, Huawei and ZTE. In addition to securing the base-station test business, Agilent’s signal monitoring systems were used in the Beijing Olympic Village and other Olympic facilities to help with radio detecting, wireless troubleshooting and technical support. Keeping the Olympic Games clean For more than 30 years, Agilent has developed a strong reputation in analytical instruments and methods for drug testing in sports. In 1972, Agilent supplied analytical instrumentation to the lab serving the ﬁrst-ever Olympic Games in which testing was required. Since then, Agilent’s technology has played a role with the drug-testing labs serving each of the subsequent Olympic Games, as well as major events such as the FIFA World Cup and Le Tour de France. One key way in which Agilent contributed to the success of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games was by supplying instruments and solutions for doping-testing in partnership with the China Anti-Doping Testing Center. The China Anti-Doping Agency is today one of the largest and most technologically advanced testing facilities in the world (Figure 4). During the 2008 Olympic Games it was estimated that it examined more than 4,500 samples from participating athletes. The agency equipped its Beijing lab with Agilent’s liquid chromatography (LC), gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) instruments. These instruments were used to conﬁrm the chemical identity of suspected banned substances found in testing samples. Agilent also provided a total of 18 LC/MS and 19 GC/MS units for drug testing at the 2008 Olympic Games. Figure 4. The China Anti-Doping Agency recently presented Agilent China with a “Best Partner” award for providing world-class instruments and service for the 2008 Olympic Games. Conclusion The ability to provide advanced and reliable wireless services and ensure timely and accurate drug testing for the 2008 Olympic Games are two of the exciting stories surrounding China’s commitment to fostering Olympic spirit. Agilent fully supports this effort and through its many instruments, service and support worked diligently to contribute to the success of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
