AMARI Callbox Ultimate

Packaged in a plug and play integrated PC,

AMARI Callbox Ultimate is an ideal solution for
LTE and NR testing of all types of user equipment
with advanced configuration.

It acts as a 3GPP compliant eNodeB, gNodeB,

EPC and 5GC allowing functional and
performance testing of NR, LTE, LTE-A, LTE-M and
NB-IoT devices. The offer is completed by an
integrated IMS server as well as an eMBMS
gateway for VoLTE and eMBMs testing.

The Callbox is powered by a deployment quality

LTE and NR software suite offering the same level
of baseband functionality as an indoor/outdoor
network.

Logging and Measurements

Selective logging and display of all layers of 3GPP LTE and NR stacks as well
as useful graphs and analytic tools.

Automatic Test Setup and Scripting

Extensive WebSocket API allowing to send remote commands to eNodeB,
gNodeB, EPC and 5GC to ease test automation.

Easy Configuration
Easy configuration thanks to JSON files with example configurations already
included in each software release for eNodeB, gNodeB, EPC and 5GC.

End to End Data Testing

Running on top of standard Linux in user space mode allowing easy
integration with IP services and using of native Linux tools for throughput
testing.

Channel Simulation
Simulation of different DL channel types as per 3GPP models specified in
36101 specification.

Test Features
Test features to override the nominal protocol behavior in order to simulate
error cases.

High Performance
● Highly optimized software supporting multiple UEs and cells.
● High data rates in LTE and NR supporting downlink and uplink rates of 5
Gbps and 500 Mbps

Frequency Agnostic
Support of all FDD and TDD frequency bands even non standard ones
allowing to test custom frequencies in Sub-6GHz.

3GPP Features
Early access to 3GPP features for rapid validation of features under
development.
