Ue Simulator
Key Features
Supports a single Ue and single cell simulation Includes the Virtual PHY, MAC, RLC, PDCP, RRC and NAS layer Functionalities Supports Multiple Bearers per Session Integrated to Real Time External Applications via an IP interface (IP/SIP phones, High-def video streaming, Files transfer & Web browsing) 50 Mbps Throughput tested in Field trials
EPC Simulator
Key Features
MME, S/P-GW integrated into one Simulator Highly Flexible to dis-integrate and have Network Element Level Simulators Like MME, S/P-GW Simulators can be used to validate LTE-SAE E2E scenarios in conjunction with real network elements. The Simulators can be extended to include support for Inter-Technology working Integrated with a GUI Based Test Framework Integrated with a OMAP Tool
OMAP Tools
Key Features
Script Creation and Execution Tool o GUI based Test Execution Tool with online log display support. o GUI based Tool for Creation/Modification of Test Scripts. o Includes an embedded HMI console for configuring the application under test. Framalyzer o o GUI Based representation of the Frames Different colors are used to represent the various channels
OMAP TOOLS
Key Features
Message Analyzer and Log Tracer o o GUI based Real Time Log Tracer which captures and draws the Message Flow Enables viewing of message contents with few clicks. Real-time display of statistics such as the current resource usage of individual stacks, Timestamp, UeID, Bearer ID etc.,
