Valid8 Verifies Test Case Conformance for MCVideo and MCData with Softil’s MCX SDK Client Framework

Source: The Critical Communications Review | Gert Jan Wolf editor

Softil BEEHD client software is used with Valid8.com’s enhanced test suite to ensure 3GPP MCX standards compliance.

Valid8.com, Inc., the leading provider of test and analytics solutions for next-generation devices and networks, and Softil, the world’s leading mission-critical communications enabler, today announced the successful verification of MCVideo and MCData test scenarios with Softil’s BEEHD MCX SDK client, using Valid8.com’s MCX Conformance tester product.

Having a trusted MCX testing solution to verify compliance with standards is becoming crucial for device manufacturers. Adoption of broadband mission-critical communications solutions is increasing in the telecommunication market. Many mission-critical (MCX) solutions are already in use, and many others are in pre-deployment stages across global markets such as the US, Europe and Southeast Asia.

Valid8.com’s Support for MCPTT, MCVideo and MCData Testing

Valid8.com’s ability to support MCPTT, MCVideo and MCData testing of devices from various manufacturers helps ensure technology and device manufacturers can perform comprehensive testing of their technologies, giving mission-critical users peace of mind that they are receiving a fully tested, reliable and comprehensive solution. This allows first-responders to focus on their life-saving work without concerns about the technology being used.

Valid8.com will be demonstrating these solutions at the upcoming PSCR 2021 virtual event. This annual public safety broadband stakeholder meeting brings together representatives from public safety, federal agencies, industry, and academia. Valid8.com will have a virtual booth with video demonstrations of MCPTT, MCVideo and MCData testing:
