Being a GCF RTO and Field Trials accredited Test House IoTAS is qualified to conduct IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) testing, which is the common service platform for deploying communication services over IP technology (e.g., VoLTE, VoWiFi and RCS).
VoLTE and VoWiFi services are now expected on most smart phones and ‘new release’ voice/data comms devices. Accordingly, manufacturers should be looking to thoroughly test all Voice and Wi-Fi scenarios with LTE communications and IoTAS can provide this service.
An extensive set of tests need to be run by a terminal supporting VoLTE to obtain GCF approval. These tests are specified within GCF-CC Annex F5.2 and the test procedures are detailed in Section 90 of GSMA TS.11 Device Field and Lab Test Guidelines. IoTAS have experienced Engineers in multiple locations and can offer a full GCF F5.2 VoLTE test solution for network-configuration dependent (VoLTE), including all supported SRVCC scenarios, and client-to-client (VoC2C) testing.
Having completed many GCF VoLTE projects, IoTAS have found some aspects of the GCF F5.2 plan could be enhanced, while IoTAS work to do that, IoTAS have developed our own VoLTE solution which goes beyond the requirements of the tests included in the GCF-CC F5.2 by testing additional aspects of VoLTE functionality to ensure better device compliance to GSMA IR.9x documents.
Examples of the areas these additional tests cover are:
Performance (KPI)
Functionality
* Multiple scenarios not covered in GCF-CC F5.2 are tested
Several Network Operators have started enabling VoLTE Roaming services and, accordingly, compatible devices are now being offered on the market.
IoTAS can offer VoLTE Roaming test schedules, for both Outbound and Inbound calls with our local engineering support coverage. We are in a great position to help certify devices for this new development and can support your product developments with both GCF and Non-GCF VoLTE Roaming Testing.
IoTAS are now able to execute VoLTE Roaming testing services on the following networks:
