Protocols and interfaces

Learn more about our supported technologies

Our solutions offer powerful, multi-protocol functionality and help ensure smooth deployment and troubleshooting. With our GUI-based scripting engine, we can create any state machine encompassing all supported protocols, thereby enabling the creation of any simulation of single or multiple nodes.

By simulating traffic from the Radio Access Network (RAN) we help CSPs and network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) to simplify performance and quality analysis, assert full control over their networks, manage upgrade projects and confirm compatibility between different nodes.

    Application Layer Traffic:

    Our solutions are designed for comprehensive application server testing and support a large number of application protocols.

    • Application server protocols
    • Integration and Support Servers (Pure HSS Simulator & Pure PCRF Simulator)
    • RTP/RTSP/RTMP Streaming, HTTP Streaming, and SIP/MSRP extensions (as additional packages)

    As well as in-built support for existing protocols, support for new or different interfaces can be added quickly and easily. Different protocol operations can be mixed together in test cases enabling realistic simulation of user behaviour.
