GL supports a wide range of wireless network simulators, which provide reliable integrated solutions to vendors and service providers for Testing, Simulation, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting (TSMT) 2G, 3G and 4G mobile networks. These networks can be invaluable for protocol characterization and testing, performance measurement, and training.
GL's 'MAPS™ 2G, 3G, and 4G Lab Suite, along with Radio Access Elements, are a set of test systems used to provide an advanced full-fledged network environment that enables user to test their applications, devices, and services prior to deployment on a real-time network. The test suite can be used to simulate all or specific elements within wireless networks infrastructure using simple ready-to-use test bed setups. The test systems allow for simultaneous execution of various test cases across networks. It also allows for performance and conformance testing compliant with 3GPP standards.
The network architecture shown below outlines the implementation of Wireless Networks Lab with the help of GL's MAPS™ Platform. With the integration of third party tools for radio access network, and widely available mobile phones, the entire wireless network can be operated in real-time. Supported technologies include:
- 2G and 2.5G Network
- Abis interface
- A interface
- Gb, Gr (GPRS interfaces)
- MAP - B, C, D, E, F, G, H, Gc, Gr, Gf, Gd interfaces
- 3G UMTS Network
- IuCS, IuPS, IuH, IuB, Iu UP, Gn Gp interfaces
- 4G LTE Network
- S1, S3, S4, S11, S5/S8, S10, S16, X2 & SGs interfaces
- Diameter-S6a, S6d, S13, Cx/Dx, Gx, Rx & SGI interfaces
