NFC/UICC test platform – NEW from 7Layers

Commercial near field communication (NFC) services, using a mobile handset’s UICC as secure element, are beginning to be deployed around the world. To ensure Interoperability, Connectivity, Data Security and Accountability of UICC based NFC services the GSMA has stated its requirements in the GSMA TS.27 NFC Handset Test Book, which are now mandatory for GCF and PTCRB certification.

To cover the new NFC test requirements of GCF and PTCRB, it is necessary to jointly handle a mobile device, a UICC simulator, an NFC reader and a network emulator. Such a complex test set-up however can easily lead to faulty test results, based on handling errors. Our InterLab Test Solution DEVICE/UICC supports the automated handling of connected test equipment and the devices under tests.

Thanks to our reasonable pricing policies, it can be used both for development purposes AND conformance testing. The test solution can be ordered with a choice of various test case packages such as 3G USIM/USAT, LTE USIM/USAT, CMCC LTE DEVICE/UICC, Verizon LTE DEVICE/UICC and now also offers the new NFC/UICC test platform. The new test platform relates to conformance testing in accordance with GCF-WI-176 and PTCRB-RFT-123 services for NFC enabled mobile devices.
