Empirix Hammer solution deployed for China Mobile IMS

It's always nice to have a test run before going live with a product for your customers. In the current market where telecom networks are in a state of transition and IP is replacing the old school TDM-based networks, it would be nice to make sure everything runs smoothly before putting live customers on the wires. One of the things quality assurance company Empirix offers is the ability to do just that, and China Mobile recently took them up on the offer.

Empirix Hammer for IMS provided a large scale end-user simulation to verify the performance and functionality of the China Mobile's voice, video and data applications on their new IMS network. The tests, prior to going live, provided the massive mobile company an assurance that their data network was ready for their 550 million customers. The large scale IMS network is set to offer mobile, IP and IMS services to users throughout China.

The Hammer for IMS solution used by China Mobile consists of the Hammer G5 multi-media IP network test platform and the Hammer DEX device emulation system. The Hammer G5 provides load performance and service quality assurance for VoIP, NGN, IMS, IP telephony and unified communications applications throughout the technology lifecycle while the Hammer DEX offers the ability to emulate a wide variety of different network devices and IMS functions to test a particular network component in isolation, under real network conditions.
