The MCX Load Tester 100 – Virtual Lab is a software-based testing solution designed to simulate real-world mission-critical communication scenarios without the need for extensive physical infrastructure. It combines Valid8’s protocol engine with MC-PTT load simulation capabilities, enabling the emulation of up to 100 user equipments (UEs).
The MCX Load Tester 100 – Virtual Lab is a fully software-based testing solution designed to emulate realistic mission-critical communication environments without requiring extensive physical infrastructure. It provides a powerful and flexible platform for validating the performance, scalability, and reliability of MCX systems under controlled yet highly representative load conditions. At its core, the solution combines Valid8’s protocol engine with MC-PTT load simulation software, enabling the emulation of up to 100 users (UEs).
It supports multiple simultaneous communication scenarios, including up to 5 concurrent group calls with 20 participants per group, allowing users to replicate real operational situations such as team coordination and group communications in public safety or critical enterprise networks. The virtualized nature of the platform makes it easy to deploy, scale, and integrate into existing lab or development environments, significantly reducing setup complexity and cost while maintaining high testing accuracy.
To further extend its capabilities, the solution offers optional software modules, including MC-Data SDS load simulation for up to 10 UE’s, UE for 4G and 5G simulation packages supporting up to 100 users each anda network emulation components such as eNodeB 4G and 5G software for up to 10 eNodeBs. These options enable comprehensive end-to-end testing across both LTE and 5G environments, covering voice and data services. The package also includes first-year support, ensuring smooth onboarding, technical assistance, and ongoing updates to maximize the effectiveness of the solution. Overall, the MCX Load Tester 100 – Virtual Lab delivers a scalable, cost-efficient, and future-ready approach to mission-critical communication testing.
