Cetecom has developed a new test platform that is designed specifically for the 3GPP TS 34.121-1 TC 6.5 blocking test case for 3G, or the test case that requires a comparatively long time to process. According to the company, the new test system dubbed "FACTSware" complements the existing conformance test equipment at the Cetecom laboratories and optimizes its efficiency. FACTSware, Cetecom says, enables the processing of the 3G blocking test case according to the GCF and PTCRB requirements on an isolated platform and separated from the other test cases that have to be carried out. Because of this, the blocking test can now be processed in parallel with other tests.
