WOBURN, MA, Nov 6, 2008 - Valid8.com has announced a new mobile backhaul testing solution that allows telecom service providers and network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) to emulate different networks in mobile environments. The Valid8 mobile tester is a cost effective, all-in-one solution that enables providers and NEMs to prove the reliability of their backhaul pseudowire systems involving CESoP or SAToP technologies. The testing platform can be configured for 2G GSM Abis, 2.5G GPRS Abis or 3G UMTS IuB, or customized to meet specific requirements.

“This one product allows you to test many different types of mobile application,” says Valid8.com President and CEO Ian Carpenter. “Before this exciting new test solution was developed, you would need to buy multiple products for each mobile interface which can be costly. Because the Valid8 multi-protocol mobile tester is  just on one platform, it is cost-effective, readily available and adaptable to any number of environments.”

The mobile tester allows companies to simulate real protocols and traffic without having to create expensive and time-consuming laboratory environments. The backhaul tester detects issues in areas such as configuration, wiring, clock synchronization and framing that typically occur in backhaul environments and are difficult to identify. Early detection allows companies to find and fix any potential issues before going live, helping them to avoid the potential loss of business resulting in significant time and resource savings.

“The mobile tester is also beneficial for emerging mobile technology such as femtocell,” says Carpenter. “As a test solution developer, Valid8.com is extremely agile and we can respond to emerging products almost as rapidly as they are created, with customized test solutions to validate and help evolve these promising technologies.”
