MCX Tester  

Tests the Functions, Features and Performance of Mission Critical Communication services  

Polaris Networks' MCX Tester tests Mission Critical Application servers to verify compliance to functional specifications and performance of Push-to-talk (MC-PTT), Data (MC-Data) and Video (MC-Video) over an LTE network. The MCX Tester emulates Mission Critical Clients (MCC) along with LTE devices and base station to test an MCX server over the S1-MME and S1-U interfaces. It supports simulation of standards operations and procedures associated with MCC clients for PTT, Data and Video and as defined in 3GPP Release 14 & 15 specifications.

The MCX Tester provides a framework for users to define their test scenarios for functional and performance testing and includes a library of pre-scripted test cases. The pre-scripted test cases included in the MCX Tester package are based on ETSI 2^nd MCPTT Plugtests and normal & negative test scenarios defined by Polaris Networks.

The MCX tester is useful for:
A) Vendors of MC-PTT, MC-Data, MC-Video systems to test their implementation for compliance to 3GPP specifications and the     performance of their application servers.
B) System Integrators and Network Operators during vendor selection and pre-deployment to verify if the MC-PTT,
    MC-Data, MC-Video servers meet functional, performance and inter-operability requirements.

Key Features of the Polaris MCX Tester:  

• Single test tool for testing signaling and media plane of Mission Critical Push to Talk (MCPTT), MCVideo and MCData
• Simulates a large number of Mission Critical Clients to stress test MCPTT, MC-Data, MC-Video Application server
• GUI to configure test bed and create test scenarios with easy "drag-and-drop" operations Includes large number of pre-scripted tests based on ETSI Plugtests
