Market Wire asked: PARIS, FRANCE–(Marketwire – Nov. 2, 2009) – Many countries and operators are now committed to deploy LTE (Long Terme Evolution) networks to develop mobile broadband and to sustain the ever growing data connectivity needs on mobile networks. Alcatel – Lucent is one of the pioneers in such technology and is dedicated to deliver LTE all around the world. To finalize its development, Alcatel-Lucent has chosen ERCOM’s Load eNodeB Mobipass Tester.

The load system provided by Ercom is the continuity of its functional test platforms, known as Mobipass eNodeB Tester. ERCOM has already deployed 60 of such test platforms. Mobipass technology enables restaurant tables and chairs the emulation of every LTE eNodeB interfaces: end-user (UE), hand-over (X2) and core network (S1). The Mobipass architecture provides a state-of-the art and stand-alone solution for all the tests and simulations needed by a telco manufacturer to develop its LTE products.

“Thanks to Ercom long time expertise in load and capacity testing, our customer chose ERCOM’s Mobipass solution to fulfill its extensive technical requirements and to meet its cost-effective development strategy”, according to Didier Pagnoux, ERCOM’s CEO.

About Mobipass solution for LTE eNodeB load and capacity test:

- Support of latest 3GPP release for LTE.

- Support FDD and TDD standards for LTE

- Up to 3000 UEs with UE emulation full CPRI or RF over air interface,

S1 (MME and SGW) emulation for the core network and X2 emulation for

handovers.

- Support of 5, 10 and 20MHz bandwidth. Support of any LTE frequency

band.

- Scalable solution for sub-system test, full system test bringing

multiple solutions depending of test strategy, number of UEs and

number of cells to support.

- Multiple test features and UE behavior emulation to ensure eNodeB

stress on strategic features.

- Graphical “Call Profile definition” for load test scenario including

traffic generator for applications (Htpp, FTP, VoIP, Web,etc)

- Execution of functional test scripts during load test campaign

- Analysis and decoding tools for LTE protocols.
