To test the full compliance of latest technical devices—mobile phones, contactless terminals, chipsets, NFC chips, NFC devices, M2M modules or laptops, COMPRION has introduced conformance platform for testing requirement of GCF/PTCRB (listed as test platform TP 118) and the NFC Forum.
According to a press release, this UT³ Platform supports all the contact-based and contactless smart card interfaces - be it ISO/IEC 7816, SWP/HCI, IC- USB or NFC.
It offers both analogue and digital simulation of all interfaces. An integrated oscilloscope ensures that the analogue signal behavior is not influenced by additional parasitic effects caused by the connection of external measurement equipment. Additionally, the UT³ Platform lays in the ability to test contact-based and NFC protocols synchronously. Thus, the UT³ Platform provides the entire picture of data exchanged between the UICC, the CLF and the contactless device.
Andreas Bertling, product manager at COMPRION says “One advantage of the new system is that - as with all COMPRION tools—we offer a one-stop solution with perfect matching hardware and software coming from one source.”
He added, “We are also proud that all the different technologies can be tested with a single box, making the handling of testing very convenient for the customer and securing their investment well into the future.”
Similar to other COMPRION tools, UT³ Platform is easy to use, convenient for the test operator. It also has an integrated Test Plan Manager that guides the test operator through the definition of the respective device under test (DUT) and uses the specified DUT features to guarantee a complete arrangement of all mandatory test cases in one test plan. Advanced administration of test execution logs and test reports enables customized result statistics and reporting on the test case and test plan level.
