New technologies, multiple vendor systems, and ongoing service

rollouts have dramatically increased the complexity of maintaining

and managing contemporary wireless networks. This complexity is
constantly stretching the bounds of telecom equipment manufacturers
(TEMs), driving the need to rigorously test every release of their
product for interoperability, error handling, and reporting.
Aricents Total Testing for Wireless services help equipment
manufacturers deliver solutions across the entire wireless technology
ecosystem, quickly and efciently. With more than 15,000 person-
years of telecom testing experience, dedicated technology expertise,
and infrastructure, Aricent is the partner of choice for customers
building wireless products.

TESTING LIFECYCLE SERVICES
Our testing services span across the entire product lifecycle,
including:
> Conformance Testing
> Feature Testing
> Performance & Load Testing
> Lab Management Services
> Test Automation
LAB MANAGEMENT SERVICES
We manage customer labs, spread over more than 50,000 square
feet, with zero downtime and round-the-clock availability. We create
value through:
LAB INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING
Understanding the existing infrastructure, lab space, power supply,
and load requirements; and determining the equipment and software
tools needed for lab setup.
LAB SETUP PROCEDURES
Working with customer, lab, and procurement teams for equipment
transfers, and setting up of onsite, ofshore, and remote test setups
within agreed timeframes.
LAB MANAGEMENT PROCESSES
Defining processes for inventory management, preventive
maintenance, software upgrades, hardware procurement, lab usage,
equipment disposal, shipping, calibration, and security compliance
to standards such as ISO/IEC 17799 and ISO/IEC 27001.
LAB MAINTENANCE
Ensuring that the lab works under defined SLAs, equipment is
maintained in complete operational state, and audits such as
TL9000 are conducted periodically as per the guidelines.
> System/Platform Testing
> Interoperability Testing
> Release/Acceptance Testing
> Field/Deployment Testing
> Vulnerability Testing
TEST PLANS AND SUITES
We have a rich repository of test cases spanning the testing life cycle
for wireless networking technologies, including:
> UMTS
> CDMA 1X, EvDO
> Collapsed Node (Femto)
> WiMAX
TEST SIMULATORS AND AUTOMATION
Our in-house test tools help TEMs deliver superior product quality
and accelerate time to market for wireless products.
SOFTWARE TOOL FOR AUTOMATED TEST ENVIRONMENT (STATE)
STATE accelerates unit, subsystem, system integration, and regression
testing of 2G/2.5G/3G/LTE products. This platform agnostic tool
allows script creation and execution, event tracking, logging, and
customizable statistics and reports.
BSS AUTOMATION FRAMEWORK
The BSS Automation Framework allows users to dene Execution
Scenarios, using built-in Execution Blocks for any 2G/3G test
scenario. It controls the automation test bed setup and can
independently execute test cases to generate result logs.
TEST LABS AND EQUIPMENT
Our investments in test equipment and infrastructure enable us
to build testing expertise on the latest wireless technologies. Test
equipment available with us includes trafc generators, spectrum
analyzers, power meters, and frequency counters from leading
vendors such as Smart Bits, IXIA, Spirent, etc. Additionally, we
have equipped our labs with routers and switches from leading
vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, and HP.
