Virtual Seminar Discription:
The practice oriented virtual seminar will encompass information on the rollout of a pan-regional WiMAX network in Central Europe, the concept standing behind it and experience gained during the last year of operations.
Central Europe is an increasingly interesting region, with strong economies, saturating mobile markets, low broadband penetration but with visible uptake due to service offerings from incumbent operators and first results of the market liberalization conducted on base of LLU or bitstream access.
What is the opportunity for WiMAX ? Will broadband wireless access constitute an offering acceptable for customers in this region?
Is it realistic to provide a service affordable on price and competitive compared to others ? What is the outlook for the future ?
In this session you will be able to gain understanding on the above mentioned aspects as well as hear practical tips from a company having its proof of concept already in place.
- Insight into operations of Europe's first pan-regional WiMAX carrier
- Specific of the Central and East European telecoms market
- Network rollout concept and value of standarized technologies
- Market strategy combining strengths with the most promising opportunities
- Areas and visions for future growth
- Practical description of a success story
- Questions and answers to current WiMAX related issues

WiMAX Access Point Testing and Core Networks in an Uncertain Specifications Environment
Recorded Date: October 25th, 2006
Most of the focus on WiMAX so far has concerned the
airlink. But what about the back part of the network, where the ASN
Gateway and the CSN reside? How do you ensure that your core systems
are ready for the stress of coordinating an entire WiMAX network?
From the cellular experience, it's clear that core systems are the
nerve centers of the network. When the core isn't healthy, the entire
network can crash. That's why it's so important to adequately test core
systems that handle millions of data packets each day.
Mobile Metrics offers the first WiMAX test system expressly designed to
test the ASN Gateway and CSN. The Torrent 7100 WTS (WiMAX Test System)
exercises both traffic and conformance capabilities of these nodes. In
addition, Mobile Metrics offers ASN Gateway, CSN and Mobile IP
simulators, among others.
One of the challenges for vendors and developers is to deal with the
uncertainty of the NWG specifications from the WiMAX Forum. While
tremendous progress has been made to issue the 1.0 release of the
specifications, more work remains to create the 1.5 and 2.0 versions of
the specs. In the meantime, vendors and developers need to prepare
their systems for interoperability testing in an arena where the
specifications are still emerging.
Mobile Metrics will share not only its Third Generation testing
strategies, but some of its experiences in working with vendors and
developers to determine how to implement the specifications. This is a
must-see seminar for those who are developing and marketing ASN
Gateways and CSNs.
Who Should Attend?
- Product verification managers and engineers - to learn about WiMAX core product testing issues and solutions
- Design managers and engineers - to learn about specification interpretation issues and how to leverage commercial systems for easier lab simulation
- System integrators - to get new ideas on testing integrated WiMAX systems
- Field support managers and engineers - to discover alternatives for using a testing tool to resolve field issues
- Tools decision-makers - to understand the advantages of using a commercial test system in a dynamic specification environment.
- The online seminar is divided into two pieces: a PowerPoint-based lecture to discuss concepts, and an illustration, using the Torrent 7100 WTS to demonstrate the concepts in practice.
- Why testing of core systems is so important.
- Techniques for testing your core systems.
- Issues in testing a system whose specification is still developing, including specific instances of specification interpretation that could affect your product.
- Techniques for overcoming interoperability issues.
- Demonstration of these concepts in a real R6 / R3 network.
A technology leader in its field, Mobile Metrics focuses exclusively on
providing test solutions for wireless data, and specifically on traffic
generation systems. At CTIA 2005, it announced the Torrent 5100 GTS,
the first-of-its-kind Third Generation wireless data test system for
GGSNs.
In September 2006, Mobile Metrics released the initial version
of the Torrent 7100 WTS, the world's first WiMAX test system to perform
traffic and conformance testing on WiMAX Access and Core Network gear.
