MCb Focuses Automation Of 5G Services Using Real Devices
Mobile Integration Workgroup, MIW is focused on helping service providers with reducing the complexity and economics of testing and validating 5G services and network functions. We are expediting 5G innovation and return on investment through our MCellblock (MCb) Solution and test automation framework using real devices.
Service Providers all recognize the demand for 5G performance and reliable services in their wireless networks. MCb has developed a set of 5G service validation test suites with both iOS and Android devices such as Samsung Galaxy and Apple iPhone.
With constant change in the service provider network meeting the device, network fronthaul and backhaul demands, network function virtualization (NFV) and edge computing all introduce additional obstacles and challenges.
MCb 5G Services Validation test suite allows constant testing in an automated process with the latest device, operating system, and image to validate the services. Standard or custom dashboards are provided for results and detail troubleshooting including device and test logs.
For example, 5G services introduce new platforms for chat messaging, which can scale much past 20 subscribers within a chat session. A chat session can incorporate a transfer of text, video, and picture all within the same session. MCb 5G Services Validation Test Suite automates the process of establishing the chat group, and multiple type of messaging validating the test case requirements of the devices, network, and services. The automation of 5G services allows for quicker time-to-market, from the lab to production, for all the new 5G services with confidence and quality.

MCb Helps with Stay-At-Home Orders using Remote Device Access and Manual Testing
MCb Helps with Stay-At-Home Orders using Remote Device Access and Manual Testing
Mobile Integration Workgroup, MIW with its MCellblock (MCb), Mobile Device Testing platform is focused on helping service providers continue productive work from home. Testing new devices and services to be provisioned on wireless networks is an unrelenting job for mobile providers as they move from research and design to production with the latest enhancements and technology.
In early March we all complied with stay-at-home orders to combat the spread of Covid-19 interrupting our routine patterns and work progress. MCb Solutions and MIW trained service provider personnel to use the MCb and continue their normal workflow from home testing applications, devices and the network as efficiently as being in the office using real devices in the lab remotely.
Using a browser, service providers are able to test with “Real Devices” as if they are “using their fingers”. The MCb allows the use of both Apple and Android which incorporates the latest advances in the devices and 5G networks. We have coined the phrase #KeepitReal”.
MCb will allow remote access up to 32 devices per unit, allowing multiple testers to conduct a full test execution of the device and application and verify the network performance.
MCb proivdes video recording of each manual remote session. The MCb server can manage multiple sets of devices in multiple regions, either on-premise or in the cloud for large end-to-end testing.

MIW announces iOS devices in MCb Framework
MIW Announces IOS Devices in MCb Framework
Mobile Integration Workgroup announces the addition of Apple iOS devices in their MCellblock Product Solution which provides “High Scale Automated Mobile Network Testing – Using Real Devices.
MCellblock (MCb), can manage up to 32 real devices in a small 4U RF shielded enclosure including Android and iOS devices for manual testing or automation of 5G services and network validation.
The addition of iOS in the MCb framework combined with Android provides a common testing platform and framework using parallel device execution at scale with any user defined test case. MCb facilitates automation running test execution 24/7, providing extensive device, scripts and test execution logs.
For iOS, all test automatically creates a video for each script for fast troubleshooting and resolution of test failures. With iOS, MCb provides checkpoints, with screenshots, for validation, as test are executed.
With the MCb Rest API, all functions and test suites can be controlled, executed and monitored from an external automation orchestration engine.
