Key Features:

Article content

  • Scalable Bulk Call Generation and Load Testing
    MAPS™ SIP supports up to 2,000 concurrent media calls at 250 calls per second (CPS) and 70,000 signaling-only calls at 750 CPS. With the MAPS™ RTP High Density appliance, it scales to 160,000 calls at 800 CPS, making it ideal for testing network performance under heavy load in both lab and field setups.
  • Flexible SIP Emulation for VoIP and Air Traffic Control Networks
    A single instance of MAPS™ SIP can emulate multiple SIP entities and generate diverse SIP messages without extra hardware. It also supports EUROCAE ED-137C standards, allowing accurate emulation of Air Traffic Control communication systems.
  • SIP Testing for Gateway and Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA)
    MAPS™ SIP validates Gateway and ATA devices by testing connectivity, signaling behavior, and voice quality. It handles RTP traffic types including voice, tones, digits, and both pass-through and T.38 fax.
  • Remote Control and Integration
    The platform supports remote operation via a client-server Command Line Interface and APIs in Python or Java. This enables easy automation, integration with external systems, and distributed testing across different environments.
  • Fax over IP Emulation and Analysis
    Automates fax call generation and analysis for both T.30 and T.38 sessions. Users can assess transmission quality, protocol handling, and system performance across SIP networks.
  • Instant Messaging Support for NG9-1-1 over SIP
    MAPS™ SIP integrates Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) to support instant messaging in NG9-1-1 networks. It enables testing of IM-only sessions as well as mixed audio and messaging scenarios to ensure emergency communication reliability.
  • Multimedia Call Emulation with Audio, Video, and Text Messaging
    The tool can emulate SIP calls with audio, video, and text messaging in a single session. Each call includes separate RTP streams for comprehensive end-to-end multimedia testing.
  • Ensuring Protocol Compliance Across SIP Interfaces
    MAPS™ SIP supports standard SIP as well as SIP-I, SIP IMS, and SIP MSRP. It helps verify protocol conformance across diverse implementations.
  • End-to-End IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Testing for VoLTE, VoWiFi, and 5G Services
    The MAPS™ SIP IMS Test Suite emulates core IMS nodes and supports SIP, RTP, and Diameter protocols. It’s ideal for testing VoLTE, VoNR, and 5G services, ensuring seamless session management and interoperability.
  • SIP Protocol Conformance Testing with ETSI Support
    With over 400 ETSI-based test cases (IETF RFC 3261, ETSI TS 102-027-2 v4.1.1 (2006-07)), MAPS™ SIP Conformance Suite ensures thorough validation of SIP implementations. It can be configured as a UAC to test UAS devices for registration, call control, proxy, and redirect functions.
  • Automated Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Testing
    MAPS™ SIP automates IVR testing by sending DTMF tones or voice inputs. This allows for seamless navigation through IVR prompts and validation of response accuracy.
