If the AMARI Callbox, a 4G and 5G device testing solution from French wireless solution provider Amarisoft, is part of your testing arsenal, your world just got a little bigger: Automatic test and measurement equipment manufacturer Advantest has announced a collaboration that makes its Micro Line Test (MLT) test management software available to the Amarisoft ecosystem.
AMARI Callbox users can now outsource test case scripting to Advantest’s engineering team, leveraging their test engine to execute automated tests seamlessly through an enhanced user interface. Advantest will also provide operator-validated test plans, developed through close collaboration with leading telecom network carriers, on the same test engine.
The Advantest test management software is available in three main modes:
- Interactive Mode
- Developer Mode
- Conformance Mode
Advantest refers to Conformance mode as the most critical part of the process, and notes that test plans are available in a wide range of test case configurations. These include a new range of plans for 5G NR SA and GSMA TS.35, as well as updates to existing test plans containing more than 2,250 different test scenarios.
For its part, the AMARI Callbox series is designed to operate in accordance with 3GPP standards as both an eNB/gNB and EPC/5GC to test 5G, RedCap, LTE, LTE-M and NB-IoT devices for functional and performance testing. Powered by a deployment quality software suite, the AMARI Callbox is available in five different versions: Mini, Classic, Advanced, Ultimate and Extreme.
“Amarisoft's cost-effective networking test systems address the needs of a wide range of users, including wireless device OEMs, chipset and module makers, educational institutions, test labs, and wireless R&D organizations,” noted Dinesh Doshi, senior vice president, STBU-W2BI System Test Business Unit at Advantest. “Our portable software is ideally suited for pairing with the AMARI Callbox that can be easily and cost-effectively adapted to the specific model being used with minimal effort, making this a truly synergistic collaboration.”
