easy-to-use intuitive interface and tool set, featuring LTE and legacy Multi-

RAT support, an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) and IP Multi-Media Subsystem

(IMS) framework, including the industrys leading portfolio of network

services, multi-media and application enabler test plans.

setcom is active within the wireless standards committees, certification

forums and tier 1 operator acceptance programs. Participating at 3GPP-

RAN5 & OMA where user equipment (UE) conformance and performance

tests for LTE & IMS based services are defined and verified.

With over 10 years of contribution at both the GCF & PTCRB

certification forums, developing industry validated test software and

platforms to further improve device interoperability with a test once,

use anywhere philosophy.

Providing our customers a faster path to Operator Acceptance, with

the industrys leading portfolio of carrier test plans developed and

verified through a close working relationship with the key tier 1 global

wireless operators.

S-CORE for Research and DevelopmentE-UTRA & EPC Protocol Stack Development

R&D teams designing and testing complex protocols such as E-UTRA and

the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) require a test system with a high degree

of flexibility with the ability to get down to the bit level control of the

network signalling.

The S-CORE delivers on this requirement with an easy-to-use GUI

environment and comprehensive selection of productivity tools with an

extensive API, enabling protocol stack developers the option to script

complex Multi-RAT and InterBand network scenarios within a repetitive

lab based environment, rich in diagnostic logs and traces.

Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio AccessThe S-CORE test platform supports and tracks 3GPP standards evolution

closely to enable engineering teams to test against the latest feature sets.

S-CORE ConnectA Faster Path to Operator Acceptance

The S-CORE Connect revolutionises the testing of IMS based Services

and Multi-Media by accurately emulating the entire network from the

RF & Modem layers through to the Packet & IMS Core and Application

Servers, all located in a standalone test solution with an easy-to-use

test environment, rich in diagnostic traces and logs.

S-CORE Connect diagnostic informationProtocol development demands accuracy, clear and intuitive logging

and decoding at every layer through the devices signalling stack.

The S-CORE Connect saves your engineers time and effort by providing

signalling logs and traces for every layer, from the baseband to the

bit level decoding of all signalling sent and received. This enables a

faster turnaround of interoperability issues.

S-CORE decodes of an RRC message using ASN1 notation, IMSregistration showing decoded SIP messaging, XML trace of a

Device Management session.

Unparalleled diagnostic capabilities at all layers

A Faster Path to Operator AcceptanceGlobal tier 1 wireless operators have rigorous device acceptance test

plans, designed to provide them with clear indication and confidence on

how a given device will perform in its customers hands.

The S-CORE Connect meets these challenges with an easy-to-use test

environment, using the powerful S-CORE hardware unit. Providing

Operators, OEMs and Test Labs the ability to reduce their test times and

defined test plans.

Key Tier 1 Operator Test PlansLeveraging its test leadership in wireless access technologies, Multi-

Media, Device Management & IMS based Services, setcom has created

an impressive portfolio of test plans designed to accelerate OEMs through

these tier 1 operator acceptance programs.

Operator Acceptance Test PlansEach test plan is developed in close partnership with global Tier 1 operators

and their acceptance test program criteria. So you can be assured that

your team identifies and resolves issues early and moves faster down the

path to acceptance and your customers.

RCS Test Box for UE CertificationVoLTE Infrastructure IOT & Lab Acceptance

The S-CORE Connect has been selected by Verizon Wireless to provide

an RCS device certification environment able to test devices against both

simulated IMS Framework and VzW Commercial IMS Core and Presence

Server.

RCS Test Box package covers

As part of the vendor Infrastructure lab IOT test requirements, the RCS

Test Box complete with a package of use cases covering IMS VoIP, LTE

Video Call flows and Enhanced Address Book tests enables OEMs to gain

UE Acceptance and coveted access to the retail channel of VzW stores,

coast-to-coast across the USA.

Standalone System for RCS TestingExecute RCS Test Plans in your Test Labs

The S-CORE Connect has built-in support for SIP, RTP and RTCP signalling

This powerful combination of radio layer, core network and application

servers in a single hardware unit, enables OEMs to test IMS VoIP, LVC,

EAB and other RCS test plans anywhere in the world without complex

VPN connections.

S-CORE for UE CertificationReduce your time to certification

Accelerate your UE certification having identified and resolved non

compliance issues earlier by pre-testing in your lab facilities, using the

industrys leading portfolio of IMS based Services, Multi-Media and

Application Enabler test plans and validated GCF & PTCRB test packages.

S-CORE extends setcoms GCF & PTCRB test plan coverage to meet your

future needs with a TTCN3 environment to execute both 3GPP RAN5 &

Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) defined Work Items.

The S-CORE protects your previous investments in setcom solutions as all

existing Work Item test plans including MMS 1.x, Device Management &

Test Case AutomationThe S-CORE can further improve your test times by executing automated

campaigns of 100s of test cases which can be executed without

operator attendance.
