The CDMA2000 Performance Test System (CPTS) from SSE and Spirent Communications is the only Mobility test tool that simulates real-world traffic models for CDMA2000 mobility packet data networks. It operates on Spirent's proven Mobility 2500 platform.

This breakthrough test tool provides a comprehensive end-to-end test system that emulates millions of mobile data subscribers accessing the wireless network simultaneously via various access models. By emulating all of the key wireless packet data network elements and combining control–plane and data-plane simulation, the CDMA2000 Performance Test System provides “real-world” emulation of multiple mobile nodes in various stages of activation, deactivation, and moving between cells, as they transmit and receive data traffic.

The CDMA2000 Performance Test System allows PDSN equipment vendors to determine definitively the performance characteristics of their equipment under “real-world” conditions. It allows service providers to measure the performance of their network and to model new features and services in a lab environment. In addition, the CDMA2000 Performance Test System enables service providers to evaluate vendor's equipment using the same traffic models they will experience in a live network.

System Configuration

The standard CPTS configuration consists of 1 Test Administration Server and 5 Test Servers. In a typical installation, each Test Administration Server and Test Server run on a dedicated Mobility 2500. The Test Administration Server controls the Test Servers, user accounts, and the test libraries. The Test Servers perform all of the network node emulation and control messaging, collection of operational measurements, and initiation and verification of bearer traffic.

Unmatched Power

	Generate session control at 1,000 sessions per second per Test Server
	Create up to 200,000 simultaneous sessions per Test Server for a maximum of 6,400,000 sessions with a 32 Test Server system
	Generate bearer traffic at 500 Mbits per Test Server for a maximum of 16Gbit

Scalability

	Up to 32 Test Servers can be controlled by one Test Administration Server
	Up to 48 simultaneous users on one Test Administration Server
	Up to 3 simultaneous test sessions on one Test Server
