The complete, easy to use and most realistic WiMAX load and stress testing
simulation environment
Load & Stress Testing on R1 interface
The PRISMA LSU WiMAX is the complete solution
for all your WiMAX testing needs. A single hardware platform
can simulate hundreds or even thousands of subscriber
stations, and stress test user applications (such as video,
voice, or tiered-data services) in a simulated WiMAX network,
allowing testing or monitoring of both the air interface
and the core network. Not only this, but it can also perform
functional tests and monitor all parts of the network
including the radio interface.
Simulate every WiMAX Network interface (R1-R6)
This single system can simulate every WiMAX network interface (R1 to R6) and its
multi-user, scalable client server architecture provides maximum flexibility, making
it easy to implement customized or proprietary protocols.
Most user-friendly test manager software included
PRISMA has leveraged more than a decade of load
& stress testing experience in the cellular wireless
industry to create the industry's most flexible
and easy-to-use management software. Two user test
tools - the WiMAX Test Manager (primarily
for WiMAX equipment vendors) and the Quick GUI
(primarily for WiMAX operators) - are available,
the Quick GUI providing pass/fail type testing scenarios
with the Test Manager allowing for more complex
analysis.
Ready-to-use library of test scripts
Prisma provides also an unrivaled set of
ready-to-use test scripts that can be run
right out of the box, enabling the tester
to execute even complex testing plans
without needing create special scripts.
Load & Stress Testing on R1 interface
The LSU WiMAX can be used as either
the sole test tool or as a provider of
background load while other devices
are used to test a specific application. Thousands of CPEs may be
simulated and used to generate the load. Different network
scenarios (e.g. interworking of different vendors' base stations,
differently parameterized base stations, etc.) can be simulated and
analyzed.
Core Device Simulation (R3-R6 interfaces)
A single LSU WiMAX can
oversubscribe most core network
devices, and traffic can be reduced if
appropriate control plane signals are received. Simulate as
needed: ASN GW if testing base stations or Home Agent, BS and
HA if testing ASN GW.
Monitoring
The LSU WiMAX can monitor all interfaces (simultaneously), and in
parallel to the simulation. The traffic can be captured and replayed
in simulations. Not only data but also control plane messages are
captured and decoded for further analysis and customized
decodes of proprietary protocols are available.
