Aricent's IMS (IP Multimedia System) Convergence Lab, demonstrates
our solutions for clients who come to us for proof of concept
for their actual problems in convergence networks.
The IMS test lab is a replica of the entire IMS architecture.
It comprises "real life" nodes (Aricent and 3rd party products)
and IMS test tool emulators.
The lab has the capability to
- Demonstrate end-to-end convergence across heterogeneous
access networks such as IMS Core, Mobile Core (2G/3G), VoIP
intranet with WiFi, Wire line, Femto, and PSTN.
- Execute IMS and convergence services such as end-to-end
IMS- IMS calls, presence, privacy, voice call continuity,
handoff, and roaming.
The Lab provides a unique platform for telecom equipment
vendors to do end-to-end testing of their equipment under
a converged architecture (across heterogeneous access networks,
multi protocol implementations, FMC services) covering the
entire spectrum of conformance, performance, and interoperability
testing.
For service providers, migrating their infrastructure
to the IMS/convergence space, the lab setup is a platform
to conduct anticipatory performance testing for the vendor
nodes, and conduct an end-to-end testing from the entire network
perspective addressing issues such as network performance
(Latency, Voice Quality, Re-transmission), security, QoS,
policy, and NATing.
Take a demo of our end--to-end IMS
testing capabilities
Core Lab Features:
- IMS Lab Testing Feature
- Replace any network node by client equipment (that
is to be tested); rest of the lab network remains the
same.
- Complete reuse of existing test scenarios, test cases
and automation.
- Heterogeneity
- Any-to-any convergence powered by IMS core
- Conflux of a wide variety of devices, networks
and services
- Inter-play of voice, video, data and mobility
- End-to-end solutions
- Behavioral diversity and aberrations of standards
in nodes
- Diverse 'interpretation' of convergence specifications
in components
- Non-IMS readiness of components
- Advantage of interoperability with 'real' nodes
- Benefit of conformance testing with Aricent IPRs
and standard emulators
