Rohde & Schwarz claims first independently certified eCall test system
This is a prerequisite for tests compliant with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/79. CETECOM has been officially designated as a technical service for eCall by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority. After March 31, 2018, manufacturers must equip new vehicles for sale in the EU with an eCall module.
The CMW-KA094 application software specifically developed for eCall is based on the CMW500 platform in combination with the SMBV100A GNSS simulator. The software simulates a PSAP and controls the CMW500, which emulates a mobile network in the lab. It also controls the GNSS simulator, which provides the position data of the accident location. The SMBV100A additionally supports the GNSS receiver performance tests in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/79 Annex VI. The eCall test software can be fully automated with the CMWrun sequencer software for further conformance tests, enabling users to directly utilize ready-made test sequences for eCall and ERA-Glonass modules compliant with ETSI TS 103 412, CEN EN 16454 or GOST 33467. This additionally facilitates demonstration of the functional capability of the overall system in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/79.
Rohde & Schwarz offers a compact system for reproducible end-to-end functional tests and standard-compliant conformance tests of eCall and ERA-Glonass modules. The prescribed conformance tests can be performed with the test system. Manufacturers and suppliers use these tests to check whether the installed modem properly initiates an emergency call in the event of a motor vehicle accident, correctly acquires the relevant data and sends it via the mobile network, and is able to establish a voice connection to the PSAP. Test houses and vehicle manufacturers use this system for type approvals and for other tests requiring the emulation of mobile networks, such as location-independent testing of a car telephone.
Currently the company is also developing test features for the next generation eCall over LTE system and making the corresponding solution fit for the future and for testing new vehicle telematics units.
