Contactless test API enables user defined scenarios
A new testing API, a programming interface that allows developers to write their own test cases in the contactless environment (NFC Forum, EMVCo, ISO/IEC 18092, ISO/IEC 14443) has been developed by Comprion. As the API offers the opportunity to implement user-defined scenarios in a lab environment, it is of high value for everyone involved in the development of contactless devices and applications.
Duo deliver automated conformance tests solution
A solution for fully automated execution of both 3GPP TS 36.523 LTE and 3GPP TS 34.123 3G conformance tests has been developed bvy COMPRION and Rohde & Schwarz. The solution consists of the R&S CMW500 protocol tester, providing an industry leading number of GCF and PTCRB validated protocol conformance test cases, and the Comprion Test SIM Simulator.
MWC 2016:New testing approach for remote eSIM provisioning
A new testing architecture for embedded UICCs (eUICCs), also known as eSIMs has been developed by COMPRION. The new methodology focusses on quality assurance, especially on interface compliancy as well as system and platform behaviour testing according to the GSMA and GlobalPlatform. It will be premiered at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (Feb 22-25).
'Fastest' EMVCo L1 analogue test solution on parade in Paris
The EMVCo PICC Analogue Test Solution for mobile phone approval according to EMVCo standards extends COMPRION’s range of EMVCo products. The solution consists of the conformance test system UT³ Platform, a Kawasaki robot in a safety cell and additional EMVCo test equipment, such as antennas.
Test system validated for EMVCo Level 1 testing
EMVCo has approved the EMVCo Electrical Terminal Test Solution from COMPRION. The solution is operated on the UT³ Platform terminal test tool. Swantje Missfeldt, Product Manager for EMVCo products at COMPRION explains, “As COMPRION is the only supplier of a qualified test tool, all test labs offering Terminal Type Approval for Contact Level 1 Electrical tests need the new solution and the corresponding accreditation from EMVCo.”
NFC test solution chosen by certification company
The American safety consulting and certification company Underwriters Laboratories (UL) equip their lab with Comprion’s UT³ Platform conformance test solution. Mike Kuo, General Manager, North America explains, "We selected Comprion as our test platform for its advanced automation and precise programming capabilities.”
Conformance platform meets GSMA requirements
The test solution provider COMPRION says it’s UT³ Platform conformance test system is the first to provide new test cases covered by the GSMA Handset Test Book requirements. The GSMA Handset Test Book is driven by mobile network operators. They aim to make sure that handsets support a defined set of NFC-related features and are be interoperable with corresponding contactless devices.
Test platform passes rigorous NFC approval process
COMPRION’s UT³ Platform has recently been approved by the NFC Forum for Digital Protocol Functional Testing and is now listed on their website in the Approved Test Tool section. After a rigorous validation procedure the solution can be used by manufacturers for NFC Forum conformance testing as well as by authorised laboratories for certification testing of NFC Forum devices.
NFC robot eases RF performance testing
COMPRION says it can ease the verification process of near field communications (NFC) its new NFC Robot. Spurring this development is the universal NFC ecosystem which harmonises related specifications, ensuring interoperability. An NFC Forum compliant device has to support all different NFC technologies with a large number of possible parameter sets.
COMPRION takes lead role on NFC testing handbook
Comprion is taking on a lead role in preparing the GSMA (Groupe Spéciale Mobile‘ Association) Handset Testbook. The GSMA has been discussing standards for NFC (Near Field Communications) in order to find common ground for the different stakeholders and to document this in the Testbook.
Test Card Measures Mobile Functions in Extreme Conditions
COMPRION’s new test card helps confirm the proper functioning of mobile phones in extreme temperature zones, from the Arctic to the Sahara. M2M UICCs are perfect for devices that must perform in rough environments and meet extended lifetime expectations. Such devices can be used anywhere on earth, i.e. making a call from a car in the middle of the desert, or sending data from an Arctic weather station.
COMPRION Test Benches Qualified For Card Conformance Testing By GlobalPlatform
After the successful qualification of SWP/HCI tests on COMPRION’s “Spectro TP” in December, COMPRION is proud to announce that three further card compliance test benches were qualified by GlobalPlatform. The new test suites validate if a Smart Card is compliant to the GlobalPlatform UICC Configuration, UICC Contactless Extension and Mapping Guidelines.
COMPRION Launches New Platform for Card Conformance Testing
The new test system ‘Spectro TP’ – which has been qualified by GlobalPlatform – advances interoperability in the Smart Card market. The all-interface Smart Card Conformance Test Platform will support operators as well as card and chip manufacturers in successfully marketing secure Smart Card solutions and services.
COMPRION revolutionises combined (U)SIM and (U)SAT handset conformance testing
All GSM, W-CDMA and LTE conformance tests according to GCF/PTCRB defined standards can now be performed using a test platform with one single network simulator, the Anritsu MD8475A. The new “COMPRION SIMfony MD8475A” is listed as TP 126 at GCF and is the first validated test platform for executing combined (U)SIM and (U)SAT tests for all 3GPP network standards.
COMPRION’s new test solution prevents OTA failure
The complexity of the OTA setup compels network operators to test comprehensively. COMPRION’s OTA test system simulates complex OTA use cases so that communication errors in this setup are detected before expensive service rollouts.
COMPRION’s NFC Forum RF tests ready for validation
The RF Plugfest taking place May 21-25 in Malaga was initiated by the NFC Forum with the aim to test the interoperability of NFC implementations. Particularly, the test equipment providers were challenged to show their progress in the implementation of the NFC Forum test specifications.
COMPRION is the first supplier of combined IMS ISIM handset test cases according Verizon Wireless LTE test requirements
COMPRIONs recently launched COMPRION SIMfony RS IMS test bench contains the IMS ISIM test cases for device interaction testing specified by Verizon Wireless. With this package COMPRION is completing the range of tests described in the VZW LTE Device-UICC Interaction Test Plan.
COMPRION launches new File Tree Editing Tools
File Tree Express is an easy-to-use software application for viewing and editing data fields stored on Smart Cards. Two new versions are available: File Tree Express Basic and File Tree Express Professional.
COMPRION - Only test equipment provider offering GCF and PTCRB validated SWP/HCI conformance test cases
COMPRION’s SWP and HCI test cases running on the conformance test system ‘UT³ Platform’ are now validated by GCF. Thus, the UT³ Platform is the only system available offering SWP/HCI terminal tests validated by GCF and PTCRB.
