Test cases check GPRS interoperability issues
Setcom has developed a broad line of GPRS interoperability simulation (IOST) test cases which can be implemented on a standard GPRS protocol test system.
setcom is first to provide the wireless industry with the sole tool available to commence conformance testing for PoC, to help standardise the implementation of the service offering.
This should in turn lead to a reduction in market fragmentation and an increase in the uptake of service usage by mobile users.
The Push to talk over Cellular (PoC) specification is based on the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).
It allows a walkie-talkie style communication with a single recipient or between groups of recipients as in a group chat session.
Although some mobile manufacturers and network providers have implemented propriety PoC solutions in handsets and networks, a lack of unified standards has resulted in incompatible implementations that have inhibited the acceptance of the service in the market.
"Our engineers have done a first-class job in delivering what our customers need, when they need it", commented Peter Lund, setcom's President of Wordwide Sales.
"setcom took the lead by delivering the first GCF approved MMS test cases and we reaffirm our commitment to deliver the best quality test tools by being first to deliver GCF approved test cases for PoC".
The S-CAT 5020 is setcom's application conformance test platform, a member of a product family that also includes the S-CAT 5010 - designed for use in research and development of mobile terminal applications and the S-CAT 5030, facilitating UMA/GAN development and conformance testing.
Application packages offered with the GCF/PTCRB validated S-CAT 5020 include Multimedia Message Service (MMS), Push to talk over Cellular (PoC), Instant Messaging and Presence Service (IMPS) and Video Telephony (VT) to follow.
Additional options for further applications, Digital Rights Management (DRM), Streaming, Browsing, Data Management Synchronisation and email (POP3 and Push) are under development and will be released in the near future.
