The latest from Valid8

Valid8 was one of the global participants at the 4th ETSI MCX Plugtests event held in Finland. The tests focused on radio equipment, servers and clients.

Valid8 has developed a 5G core emulator as part of their industry-leading testing platform to offer another, more cost-effective option to address the challenges of testing on a 5G core network in 2020.

Testing 5G nodes on a core network can be an expensive process and a 5G Core to use for testing can be cost prohibitive. Valid8's 5G Core Emulator offers a solution.

Testing CPE devices that have cellular capabilities can be a costly and often frustrating exercise. Test operators need a solution that is reliable, cost-effective, and eliminates the need to use the carrier’s network.

During APCO 2019, Valid8 CEO Ian Carpenter spoke during the session, "ISSI/CSSI Testing: The next frontier for P25 CAP", highlighting the capabilities of Valid8 for testing of ISSI/CSSI conformance and the results of recent lab and field tests.

Valid8 has announced the availability of the M5 Mobile UE Tester for embedded device testing of 3G/4G/5G/WiFi networks. M5 enables actionable analytics, intuitive reporting, straightforward automation, visualization and behavioral measurement of devices under test.

We at Valid8, along with our partner, Global Telecom Partners, are excited to be discussing the current and future state of fixed-network testing tomorrow, Wednesday June 19, at 11:00 am eastern time. If you are unsure if this webinar would be relevant to you, here are a few reasons why you might attend.

Join industry experts, Ian Carpenter, CEO at Valid8 and Kevin Serfass, Manager at GTP on June 19 at 11 am EST as they discuss best practices and the current and future state of fixed-network testing.

Service providers and equipment vendors can leverage Valid8's flexible simulation platform to train maintenance and services teams on new technologies. Valid8's ability to not only simulate networks, but devices on the network, can help the teams train in diagnosis and remedies of potential issues that can impact the overall network.

Many institutes of higher learning are exploring ways to move students beyond theory and into controlled, laboratory environments where they can "learn by doing". Valid8's testing platform is a perfect fit to help colleges and universities train students on current and emerging technologies.

The big takeaway from last month's P25 CAP Testing of ISSI/CSSI Equipment panel at IWCE 2019 in Las Vegas is that the new test standard and test tools will make ISSI/CSSI easier to set up because interoperability issues between vendors will be resolved earlier in the process.

Ian Carpenter, CEO of Valid8 will speak at the conference in Las Vegas on March 7 at the session titled, P25 CAP Testing of ISSI/CSSI Equipment. Carpenter, along with other panelists, will discuss the results of recent lab and field tests that the DHS S&T invested in. Attendees to the session will learn about the development of a Conformance test laboratory, a test tool capable of automated testing.

With the explosion of internet-enabled devices come new challenges. How can networks handle the ever-increasing load of these new IoT devices; which use small amounts of bandwidth but create increased traffic? How can these devices be protected from attacks or hacks from 3rd parties? Valid8 offers a testing solution for industries including Telecom, Automotive, Healthcare, Public Safety and Aerospace.

Valid8 provides comprehensive, Multi-Purpose testing including performance, conformance, load, security, flooding, fuzzing and handover tests.

We exhibited at the 2019 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February. At the event, we shared the various capabilities and benefits of our Multi-Domain, Multi-Purpose, and Multi-Industry testing platform. For those of you that were not able to attend this year, we thought it would be worth explaining what we mean by Multi-Domain.

This was Valid8’s second year participating in the event and the focus was on supporting test cases that involved the diameter protocol of MCX Testing. Specifically, leveraging Valid8's industry leading, conformance, performance and security testing platform to test exchanges and message sequences for some of the participating companies.

Network operators continue to invest in 4G technology, even with 5G soon to be released. A testing platform that supports both networks has been a challenge for operators since the beginnings of mobile technology. Valid8 makes that challenge go away with our multiple capability testing platform.

Valid8 will be showcasing our multi-testing capabilities at the MWC. In an intelligently connected world, testing tools have become fragmented, often requiring multiple technologies to successfully test. No matter the domain requirement, 5G, 4G, Wi-Fi, IoT, TDM/POTS, cloud-deployment or lab deployment, Valid8 is the solution.
