The latest from Valid8

Valid8 has announced the availability of the M5 Mobile UE Tester for embedded device testing of 3G/4G/5G/WiFi networks. M5 enables actionable analytics, intuitive reporting, straightforward automation, visualization and behavioral measurement of devices under test.

We at Valid8, along with our partner, Global Telecom Partners, are excited to be discussing the current and future state of fixed-network testing tomorrow, Wednesday June 19, at 11:00 am eastern time. If you are unsure if this webinar would be relevant to you, here are a few reasons why you might attend.

Join industry experts, Ian Carpenter, CEO at Valid8 and Kevin Serfass, Manager at GTP on June 19 at 11 am EST as they discuss best practices and the current and future state of fixed-network testing.

Service providers and equipment vendors can leverage Valid8's flexible simulation platform to train maintenance and services teams on new technologies. Valid8's ability to not only simulate networks, but devices on the network, can help the teams train in diagnosis and remedies of potential issues that can impact the overall network.

Many institutes of higher learning are exploring ways to move students beyond theory and into controlled, laboratory environments where they can "learn by doing". Valid8's testing platform is a perfect fit to help colleges and universities train students on current and emerging technologies.

The big takeaway from last month's P25 CAP Testing of ISSI/CSSI Equipment panel at IWCE 2019 in Las Vegas is that the new test standard and test tools will make ISSI/CSSI easier to set up because interoperability issues between vendors will be resolved earlier in the process.

Ian Carpenter, CEO of Valid8 will speak at the conference in Las Vegas on March 7 at the session titled, P25 CAP Testing of ISSI/CSSI Equipment. Carpenter, along with other panelists, will discuss the results of recent lab and field tests that the DHS S&T invested in. Attendees to the session will learn about the development of a Conformance test laboratory, a test tool capable of automated testing.

With the explosion of internet-enabled devices come new challenges. How can networks handle the ever-increasing load of these new IoT devices; which use small amounts of bandwidth but create increased traffic? How can these devices be protected from attacks or hacks from 3rd parties? Valid8 offers a testing solution for industries including Telecom, Automotive, Healthcare, Public Safety and Aerospace.

Valid8 provides comprehensive, Multi-Purpose testing including performance, conformance, load, security, flooding, fuzzing and handover tests.

We exhibited at the 2019 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February. At the event, we shared the various capabilities and benefits of our Multi-Domain, Multi-Purpose, and Multi-Industry testing platform. For those of you that were not able to attend this year, we thought it would be worth explaining what we mean by Multi-Domain.

This was Valid8’s second year participating in the event and the focus was on supporting test cases that involved the diameter protocol of MCX Testing. Specifically, leveraging Valid8's industry leading, conformance, performance and security testing platform to test exchanges and message sequences for some of the participating companies.

Network operators continue to invest in 4G technology, even with 5G soon to be released. A testing platform that supports both networks has been a challenge for operators since the beginnings of mobile technology. Valid8 makes that challenge go away with our multiple capability testing platform.

Valid8 will be showcasing our multi-testing capabilities at the MWC. In an intelligently connected world, testing tools have become fragmented, often requiring multiple technologies to successfully test. No matter the domain requirement, 5G, 4G, Wi-Fi, IoT, TDM/POTS, cloud-deployment or lab deployment, Valid8 is the solution. Visit our booth (Hall 1, Stand 1G60) at the 2019 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

In emergencies, it is critical that first responders have reliable technology to ensure seamless, efficient communication. The compliance assessment program (CAP) was created to ensure that first responders are able to react and coordinate with each other no matter what type of equipment make or model they are using to communicate. Valid8 delivers efficient, proven, cost-effective ISSI & CSSI testing in support of the P25 CAP.

The new collaboration allows customers of the UNH-IOL to use the Valid8 4G Network Emulator, which enables the lab to run IPv6 testing over 4G, to perform their IPv6 testing. The addition of Valid8’s solution expands the types of devices customers can test at the UNH-IOL for the IPv6 testing programs.

Valid8 is proud to continue its support of Freely in Hope, a faith-based nonprofit organization focused on programs that equip survivors to lead in ending sexual violence in Kenya, Zambia and South Africa.

Valid8 will be closed on New Years day January 1. We will resume normal hours on January 2. For tech support please email support@valid8.com. Check out the December newsletter featuring articles on our eNodeB Tester and 5G Emulator.

eNodeB's are a critical component of mobile network architecture. The eNodeB element on the base station is the point of connection between the network and mobile devices (UEs). Valid8's single solution for base station testing makes it easier than ever to make sure your network is prepared.
