Release V09R2.3 defines as Base Station Controller release V09R2.3 and SDR release V09R2.3.
Based on the Test Handbook for V09R1+, this test specification is modified and improved to fit
V09R2.3. And this specification will focus on the new features of V09R2.3
For Mobitel contract ZTE provides BSC type iBSC ZXG10 with V10R2 software version. All the
features that are affecting KPIs subjected to KPI monitoring in the POC period.
All the tools for the POC testing is provided by ZTE except speech quality (MOS) testing terminals.
Mobitel responsible for providing the network existing node inter relating senarios for the POC
testing. (Flex Gb, etc.)
