Cable Modem and EMTA Acceptance Testing
As a cable operator you need to be sure that the modems and EMTAs deployed in the field are conformant to your quality requirements. While this is of primary importance to the success of your business, it is time-consuming for your engineering team to perform rigorous acceptance tests. Deploying without rigorous testing might on the other hand become a major issue in your network. To make sure that efficient, rigorous, timing-flexible acceptance testing is executed on the devices before you deploy them, Excentis offers Cable Modem and EMTA Acceptance Test programs. For these acceptance test programs Excentis develops a test plan based on your requirements enhanced with our expertise of performing the EuroDOCSIS and EuroPacketCable certification testing. The testing can either be paid by the operator or by the vendor. In the latter case this creates pressure on the vendor to directly submit quality products.
The testing can cover the whole range of (Euro)DOCSIS, VoIP (EuroPacketCable/SIP) or other requirements, for example:
- PHY-level testing (e.g. calibration…)
- Software upgrade
- Performance
- Digital certificates, serial number, MAC addresses
- Stability (also under different environmental circumstances)
- Throughput
- Power consumption
- OSS
- Voice quality
- Call feature implementation (e.g. caller ID…)
- Analogue (POTS) line characteristics
