Rohde & Schwarz has completed the independent test house cetecom advanced’s re-certification of its EU eCall test solution with success. This accomplishment highlights both firms’ dedication to offering next-generation eCall test solutions that comply with leading standards and solidify their leadership positions in the market, affirms the official release.
With effect from May 9, 2024, the revised eCall Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1180 incorporates changes for 2G and 3G circuit switched (CS) eCall.
In response, to guarantee conformity with the most recent eCall regulations and standards, including EN 16454:2023, Rohde & Schwarz has upgraded its R&S CMW-KA094 eCall end-to-end (E2E) conformance test solution. This update guarantees the seamless integration of eCall in-vehicle systems (IVS) and helps manufacturers and suppliers to meet the new criteria.
The R&S CMW-KA094 eCall test software, which simulates a public safety answering point (PSAP), has been recertified by cetecom advanced, indicating that it meets all standards for managing eCalls, receiving emergency data, and interacting with in-vehicle eCall systems.
This demonstrates Rohde & Schwarz’s dedication to offering complete and reliable eCall test solutions and places manufacturers and suppliers that use the Rohde & Schwarz solution in a favorable position for acceptance tests of their emergency call systems.
Additionally, cetecom advanced and Rohde & Schwarz decided to keep working together to develop a standard compliant test solution for the upcoming eCall utilizing 4G and 5G network infrastructure for lab testing.
With a long experience in eCall testing, certification, and standardization, cetecom advanced, an authorized technical service for eCall, supports the most recent updates of the pertinent NG eCall standards from CEN (such as EN 17240, EN 17184, and EN 16072).
The R&S CMX500, an all-in-one 4G/5G radio communication tester that cetecom advanced chose for their lab to serve as a test platform for NG eCall conformance tests, is the foundation of the test solution.
Features of the R&S CMX500 Include:
- An internal IMS server with MSD via SIP support,
- VoLTE/VoNR testing for eCall service,
- Further special IP and application test capabilities are all displayed by the R&S CMX500.
Customers receive a test solution that complies with the most recent CEN standards for NG eCall thanks to the joint verification of Rohde & Schwarz’s R&S CMX-KA098 NG eCall test software and cetecom advanced. This allows the industry to adopt next generation eCall, which will be required for all vehicle suppliers supplying the European market starting in 2026.
