The latest from Valid8

There were many learnings following the tragic events of September 11. Improvements in public safety device interoperability help ensure clear communications during emergency events.

Valid8 will be at the P25 Technology Interest Group (PTIG) booth discussing some of the common challenges with P25 ISSI/CSSI implementation.

Valid8 has become a member of the Industry Council for Emergency Response Technologies (iCERT), an organization dedicated to improving public safety through innovation.

Recent Valid8 product update includes PWS testing

Valid8 recently attended the NENA 2021 Conference and Expo at the end of July. NENA serves the public safety community as the only professional organization solely focused on 9-1-1 policy, technology, operations, and education issues.

Valid8.com, Inc., and Nemergent Solutions, SL., announce the successful execution of the first set of RAN5 test cases for MCVideo, including 3GPP-based call procedures supported by the Nemergent MCX client and Valid8.com’s MCX Conformance tester product.

Valid8 is demonstrating its MCData, MCVideo, and MCPTT testing capabilities at PSCR 2021 starting June 21. Valid8's testing capabilities help ensure technology and device manufacturers can perform comprehensive testing of their technologies, giving mission-critical users peace of mind that they are receiving a fully tested, reliable, and comprehensive solution. Allowing first-responders to focus on their life-saving work without concerns about the technology being used.

Valid8.com, Inc., and Softil today announced the successful verification of MCVideo and MCData test scenarios with Softil’s BEEHD MCX SDK client, using Valid8.com’s MCX Conformance tester product.

On Thursday, June 17, industry experts from both the government and private sector will be gathering at the La Fontaine Bleue in Glen Bernie, MD for the 7th Annual B2G Procurement Conference & Expo. The event will include two general sessions with keynote addresses and panel discussions along with workshops, seminars and lectures. The event is presented by Contract Ready Government Procurement Forum and Vendor Fair.

Valid8.com, Inc., successfully demonstrates the interworking function (IWF) between LTE MCX technology and legacy LMR public safety communications systems using Valid8’s IWF emulator.

Both Emulators and Simulators have important roles in the testing of network interfaces and protocols. When discussing Valid8’s Simulation toolkits and Emulators, there are clear differences in capabilities and when they are used.

Today Valid8.com announced the general availability of the Simul8r product. The product is designed to provide users the ability to create, customize, and run message flows for simulated protocols. Each toolkit within Simul8r focuses on a specific area (e.g. mobile security), interface (e.g. 5G N2) or protocol (e.g. SIP). These toolkits are extensible by the end-user or by Valid8's engineering services.

In the face of a global pandemic, the mobile testing industry continued innovation across technologies including 5G and MCX.

Successfully installing a RAN is a complex logistical project, often with steps that need to be performed in remote locations. The ability to perform tests through the process saves time and resources. Valid8’s industry-leading capabilities are flexible to support testing at various stages throughout the lifecycle. Read a recent Valid8 whitepaper.

Testing mission critical voice, data and video, collectively known as MCX is a critical component for manufacturers as they develop devices that comply with the standards for successful operation during public safety events. Even while businesses are working remotely, recent articles highlight the continued forward progress being made with MCX certification and technologies.

Valid8 today announced the successful execution of an over-the-air (OTA) test of MCX as part of their 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard compliant testing solution for the mission critical communications industry.
