Dyaptive Solutions

Dyaptive builds confidence for companies operating or building wireless networks by providing real-world traffic on wireless networks:

• Up to 2,400 Software-Defined-Radio mobile terminals in a single cabinet
• More than 1 million calls per hour (Busy Hour Call Attempts -BHCA).
• Increased test efficiency through 24/7 test automation:
  • Reduced test cycle times
  • Increased test coverage
• Deterministic and repeatable testing
• Real-world network conditions with controls for traffic mixes and radio environment

Network Equipment Manufacturers - Radio Access Networks

Dyaptive Systems helps Radio Access Network (RAN) manufacturers lower their testing costs, improve network quality and reduce time to market by simplifying complex test beds and providing multi-Radio-Access-Technology test capability in a single, scalable DMTS system for CDMA, UMTS, HSPA and LTE radio technologies:

• Up to 2,400 Software-Defined-Radio mobile terminals in a single cabinet
• Test L1/L2 layer performances and scheduler algorithms
• Designed to handle over-loading of capacity limits on multiple sectors for all 3G and 4G technologies
• Verify End-to-End system design performance targets (Key Performance Indicators)
• Mix voice and data traffic patterns to simulate real world behavior
• Easily generate and automate complex test plans
• Test results are highly deterministic and repeatable
• The most comprehensive solution in the industry
• Same hardware resources for functional, load and system performance tests

The Dyaptive Systems' DMTS system is used by RAN manufacturers in:

• R&D testing
• Verification of system design performance targets
• Robustness and soak testing
• Verification of load performance
• Benchmarking
• Regression testing
• Customer support

Mobile Network Operators

Dyaptive Systems helps Mobile Network Operators select, implement and maintain the highest quality, most cost effective 3G and 4G network technologies on the market. Dyaptive Systems' DMTS is used by major operators to conduct:

• Pre-launch evaluations
• Acceptance tests
• Characterization of network performance under real-world traffic conditions
• Evaluation of new services and measurement of impacts to existing services
• Pre-deployment network software validation testing
• End-user and network KPI analysis

Comparing Alternatives

Dyaptive's DMTS gives network operators and equipment manufacturers the ability to test wireless infrastructure equipment, networks and services under real-world load, before live customers detect network defects and performance problems.

		Alternatives
	With Dyaptive	Phone Cabinet	Live Network
Repeatability of Tests	Deterministic, repeatable & easily defined	RF behavior results in unpredictable test conditions	Not repeatable
Scalability	Up to 2,400 mobile phones (software-based) in a single rack.	Typically used to test with a few mobiles, 100 at most	Can only test with a few mobiles,  or wait for customer generated load
Detailed Logs & Statistics	Sophisticated performance analysis tools to detect & troubleshoot issues from a network and mobile perspective	Limited mobile logging interface and statistics and reliance on base station and switch logs, thereby missing interaction between mobile and base station	Only statistics from the network side, not the mobile side – which represents the customer experience
Impact on Quality	Excellent, since load is fully tested for all potential issues before rolling out to customers	Cannot control actual phone behavior and cannot test with realistic loads so load related problems cannot be found early	Cannot test with realistic loads so load related problems cannot be found before customers encounter them

Dyaptive's innovative Software Defined Radio technology provides the only means of running realistic traffic on network infrastructure prior to real customers going onto a live network. Instead of inadequate testing with a small number of discrete mobile terminals, product and test engineers can load networks with hundreds of test terminals, mixed services and RF features during product development. DMTS systems can automate testing to increase not only the number of 'users' that generate traffic load, but also the number and test cases that can be run in a fixed period of time. Designers and testers have confidence each test is precisely replicated. Extensive logging, statistics and analysis tools let system integration engineers measure performance to confirm system capacity, and find sources of poor performance.
