MAPS™ LTE eGTP-c Interface Emulator

Overview

GL’s Message Automation & Protocol Simulation (MAPS™) designed for testing LTE – eGTP interfaces ( S3, S4, S5, S8, S10, S11 and S16) can simulate MME (Mobility Management Entity), SGW (Serving Gateway) and PDNGW (PDN Gateway).

The application is available as

MAPS™ – LTE-eGTP (Item # PKS142) for eGTP interfaces

The application gives the users the unlimited ability to edit eGTP messages and call scenarios (message sequences). “Message sequences” are generated through scripts. “Messages” are created using message templates.GL’s MAPS™ – LTE eGTP software benefits Network Equipment Providers of MME, Serving GW, PDN GW entities, with –

Accelerated time to market
Reduced development costs
Reduced project risk of internally-developed LTE applications

Possible applications include:

Simulate up to 500 Smartphones (UEs) powering up and down
Authenticate and confirm security procedures
QoS requests for greater or lesser bandwidth
Temporary addressing management for mobility and security
