Nexus8610 Product Description

Traffic Simulation System

The Nexus8610 Traffic Simulation System performs comprehensive core network testing for network elements for the following technologies:

• UMTS
• GPRS
• GSM
• LTE/SAE
• NGN
• VoIP
• PSTN

Core Network Test Types

Typically, the Nexus8610 Traffic Simulation System is used by network element manufacturers as well as network operators in order to verify equipment specifications under varying conditions. The Nexus8610 system fully supports test methods for

• Interworking and Interoperability testing
• Load and Stress testing
• Robustness and Stability testing
• Acceptance and Regression testing

By performing call simulations Nexus8610 models real traffic for testing the behavior of the system under test (SUT) on all control- and user-plane interfaces under various changing conditions. Full testing functionality is provided covering a wide range of call scenarios, from basic calls to complex call scenarios, including Supplementary Services.

Key Benefits

• Tests for interworking of all control and user plane interfaces for Mobile, NGN - VoIP and PSTN
• Comprehensive speech path / voice channel testing functionality
• Long duration robustness and stability testing for Carrier-grade quality assurance
• Ready-to-go test cases
• Compliant to 3GPP, ANSI, ETSI, GSM, IETF and ITU-T standards
