S-CORE for Research and DevelopmentE-UTRA & EPC Protocol Stack Development
R&D teams designing and testing complex protocols such as E-UTRA and
the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) require a test system with a high degree
of flexibility with the ability to get down to the bit level control of the
network signalling.
The S-CORE delivers on this requirement with an easy-to-use GUI
environment and comprehensive selection of productivity tools with an
extensive API, enabling protocol stack developers the option to script
complex Multi-RAT and InterBand network scenarios within a repetitive
lab based environment, rich in diagnostic logs and traces.
Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio AccessThe S-CORE test platform supports and tracks 3GPP standards evolution
closely to enable engineering teams to test against the latest feature sets.

S-CORE ConnectA Faster Path to Operator Acceptance
The S-CORE Connect revolutionises the testing of IMS based Services
and Multi-Media by accurately emulating the entire network from the
RF & Modem layers through to the Packet & IMS Core and Application
Servers, all located in a standalone test solution with an easy-to-use
test environment, rich in diagnostic traces and logs.
S-CORE Connect diagnostic informationProtocol development demands accuracy, clear and intuitive logging
and decoding at every layer through the devices signalling stack.
The S-CORE Connect saves your engineers time and effort by providing
signalling logs and traces for every layer, from the baseband to the
bit level decoding of all signalling sent and received. This enables a
faster turnaround of interoperability issues.
S-CORE decodes of an RRC message using ASN1 notation, IMSregistration showing decoded SIP messaging, XML trace of a
Device Management session.
Unparalleled diagnostic capabilities at all layers
The S-CORE Connect emulates a complete network

A Faster Path to Operator AcceptanceGlobal tier 1 wireless operators have rigorous device acceptance test
plans, designed to provide them with clear indication and confidence on
how a given device will perform in its customers hands.
The S-CORE Connect meets these challenges with an easy-to-use test
environment, using the powerful S-CORE hardware unit. Providing
Operators, OEMs and Test Labs the ability to reduce their test times and
defined test plans.
Key Tier 1 Operator Test PlansLeveraging its test leadership in wireless access technologies, Multi-
Media, Device Management & IMS based Services, setcom has created
an impressive portfolio of test plans designed to accelerate OEMs through
these tier 1 operator acceptance programs.
Operator Acceptance Test PlansEach test plan is developed in close partnership with global Tier 1 operators
and their acceptance test program criteria. So you can be assured that
your team identifies and resolves issues early and moves faster down the
path to acceptance and your customers.
