Abstract: A test system (1) serves to test a broadband cellular network. The test system (1) includes at least one user interface (2, 3) and at least one central test module (7) capable to run a predetermined or user-defined test method. A smartphone test probe interface module (13) of the test system (1) is connected to the central test module (7). Such smartphone test probe interface module (13) is capable to establish a data/signal connection between at least one smartphone test probe (14) and a network component of the broadband cellular network. The test system (1) further includes a radio test probe interface module (15) and a core network test probe interface module (17) capable to establish in a similar manner a data/signal connection between at least one radio/core test probe (16, 18) and a respective network component of the broadband cellular network.

Abstract: In a test method for verification of a remote eSIM provisioning process, an eSIM profile from an RSP platform (1) under test is ordered (8). After that, a download of the ordered eSIM profile from the RSP platform (1) is triggered (9). Then, the triggered eSIM profile is downloaded (9a) from the RSP platform (1) via an over the air interface to a target eSIM or eUICC (5) in a test probe (6). It is then verified whether the ordered, triggered and downloaded eSIM profile is correct. Such a test method enhances the capabilities of a test system for testing mobile networks with remote eSIM provisioning, while the network connectivity and services are continuously provided by eSIM swapping.

Abstract: A test procedure for an emergency call network includes the following steps: A test user connection is provided between a test user and a test site and an integrated test environment. Location data are assigned to a target location of the test user, wherein such target location is to be emulated by the integrated test environment. An emergency operator connection is provided between the integrated test environment and an emergency operator in an emergency call center of the emergency call network using the assigned location data. The test user connection and the emergency operator connection are synchronized to establish an end-to-end call connection between the test user and the emergency operator. By using these steps, the expenses for performing a test procedure for an emergency call network are lowered. A test system also is presented for performing such test procedure.
