RADVISION® (Nasdaq: RVSN), a leading provider of video network infrastructure and developer tools for unified visual communications over IP, 3G, and emerging next-generation networks, today announced that its ProLab Testing Suite has been independently validated to support test cases selected by the GCF (Global Certification Forum) and the PTCRB (PCS Type Certification Review Board) for video telephony applications. With this validation, handset manufacturers can use ProLab to certify their devices for video telephony in accordance with the IMTC 3G-324M specifications.
"Developing 3G handsets is a complex challenge, especially when it comes to video telephony," said Elie Cohen, Product Manager for the ProLab family of testing solutions for RADVISION's Technology Business Unit. "IMTC test cases contain important new features that complement the broad range of testing capabilities found in the ProLab Testing Suite. This complete solution conducts a wide range of tests, including call generation, monitoring, media quality and more."
The GCF and PTCRB are certification organizations consisting of network operators, terminal manufacturers and accredited test laboratories. The GCF and PTCRB operate independent programs to ensure global conformance of 2G and 3G wireless terminals.
RADVISION's ProLab 3G-324M Test Solution is part of RADVISION's ProLab Testing Suite, providing 3G-324M, IMS, and SIP testing in a single, easy-to-use product. The ProLab Testing Suite is designed to play a critical and vital role in the product development cycle. With hundreds of built-in plug-and-play scripts, test case media files, full 3G-324M simulation testing, and online analysis, the ProLab Testing Suite provides a complete testing platform for performing exhaustive testing prior to deployment, and comes with an array of capabilities for setting up innumerable test cases, as well as powerful tools to analyze these tests and monitor network and DUT performance.
"We believe GCF and PTCRB validation of our product will help boost 3G usage, by providing a high quality of service for the end user on certified products," added Mr. Cohen. "Video telephony is an important service for early adopters in the multimedia field. RADVISION is committed to being a leader in the industry in terms of quality and value and is completely dedicated to delivering products that meet contract specifications and customers' requirements."
"Our laboratory carried out validation of the platform in accordance with certification forum procedures to prove compliance," noted John Midwood, Engineering Manager for SGS Wireless (SWX: SGSN), the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company.
