If you’re responsible for the development of mobile devices, you’ll want to know about CS8. With CS8, you’ll start testing in minutes (rather than spending a week modifying scripts). You’ll learn to automate in hours instead of weeks, and you’ll do all of it with network emulation that’s more realistic than ever before.
For years, network operators and test labs have enjoyed the benefits of Spirent’s expertise: Test equipment that provides both efficient ease of use and the most realistic replication of the live cellular network. Now these same Spirent innovations are available in the mobile device design lab for Design Verification Testing (DVT). CS8 is the perfect testing solution for every stage of the device design cycle.
Spirent’s CS8 starts with the most complete and flexible IMS network emulation used in testing … a critical element when testing next-generation user-to-user services such as Voice over LTE (VoLTE). If you’re charged with ensuring the viability of IMS services on a device, you’ll want to be able to make the same adjustments made by network equipment manufacturers and operators. This level of flexibility is only offered by Spirent.
CS8 also includes the industry’s most advanced and complete emulated Evolved Packet Core (EPC). Spirent’s EPC is a free-running state machine. That means it’s up and running minutes after you unbox it, without requiring weeks’ worth of scripting. With CS8, you can change a parameter (say a modulation scheme) with a single mouse click, in real time, as the scenario continues to run. Never again worry about editing multiple layer-specific scripts to perform or modify a simple test.
The EPC in Spirent’s CS8 also replicates the complete messaging and timing of the live network. That’s why it’s the same EPC used by major equipment manufacturers to test their network products.
Of course CS8 is more than just an EPC. In addition to the most realistic network emulation available, CS8 offers true IPv6 emulation (not just dummy packets), high-speed data using real payload data and the world’s most efficient and easy-to-use protocol test automation.
