Motorola

Telcom network testing and quality assurance

As the power behind one of the world's largest and most active cellular phone networks, Motorola must ensure it can handle even the heaviest call volumes at peak hours.

Gcom® software and hardware solutions generate data throughput rates fast enough to stress test the central office switches of the Nextel phone system. By knowing the switches' data traffic limitations, Motorola can continue to guarantee the highest possible quality of service

For this project, Gcom introduced a new set of drivers and hardware for the High Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) adapter. We also made numerous custom modifications to our code to meet the specific needs of Motorola's test lab, and to support the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth optimization.
