ETSI is organizing, with the support of the European Commission (EC), the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), the Critical Communications Association (TCCA) and the Union Internationale des Chemins de fer (UIC), the sixth MCX PLUGTESTSTM. This Plugtests will take place from 8th to 19th November 2021 as a hybrid event, including remote and assisted on-site testing.

During the week from 8th to 19th November 2021, testing will be done remotely like in previous MCX Plugtests, using the existing permanent ETSI MCX remote lab testing facilities to conduct online testing. In addition, from 8th to 12th November 2021, vendors will have the possibility to send their radio equipment (UEs, eNBs) to University of Malaga, Spain, where it can interoperate using live LTE connectivity via remote access and with the on-site assistance of the University of Malaga’s experts. For the equipment sent to University of Malaga, the University of Malaga’s experts team will operate the equipment on behalf of the Vendor or the Vendor can access the equipment remotely. Alternatively, if the COVID-19 situation permits, one member of the Vendor’s team may be allowed onsite per equipment for testing on LTE network.

What are the objectives and scope of the Plugtests event?

The concept of Mission Critical Services such as “Mission Critical Push To Talk" (MCPTT), “Mission Critical Data" (MCData) and “Mission Critical Video" (MCVideo) started with 3GPP Release-13 and is ongoing in current Releases. The Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is based on these Mission Critical Features.

The goal of this MCX Plugtests event is to validate the interoperability of a variety of implementations using different scenarios based on 3GPP Mission Critical Services in Release-16. The MCX Plugtests event will also test FRMCS capabilities like Functional Aliases, Multi-talker, User and Group Regrouping, MCData IP Connectivity etc., defined in 3GPP Release-16. The tests are based on 3GPP, ETSI and IETF standards and are designed for:

MCS Application Servers (MCPTT, MCDATA, MCVIDEO) MCS Clients (MCPTT, MCDATA, MCVIDEO) FRMCS Apps using MCX Framework eMBMS Components IMS / SIP Cores Consoles and Control Rooms MCS Test Equipments Evolved NodeBs (eNBs) UEs (User Equipment), LTE Cab Radios, Rugged Handheld Phones Evolved Packet Cores (EPCs)

This 6th MCX Plugtests event will focus on tests with radio equipment (eNBs, UEs, EPCs) with Unicast and Multicast support but will also allow Over-The-Top (OTT) testing of Mission Critical Servers and Clients, as well as include tests of railways-oriented capabilities. Observers and vendors are welcome to help define the scope (i.e. functionality to be tested) for this event. Test Equipment vendors will have a possibility to test as well in the Plugtests.

What were the advantages of attending the 6th MCX Plugtests event?

To assess the level of interoperability of your implementations To validate your understanding of the standards To test with (many) other real implementations and demonstrate end-to-end interoperability To debug your implementation: early bug fixing, saving time and costs To promote the technology and the ecosystem

Who may participate?

Vendors which develop and produce above-mentioned equipment, to test either remotely using the MCX remote lab for over-the-top testing or by sending the equipment to the host for testing on LTE network. Observers, which can be government organisations, mobile network operators, public safety operators, users, agencies or regulators, can participate remotely.

New Vendors and Observers have to sign the Rules of Engagement and NDA of the MCX Plugtests Programme to participate. 

The Plugtests Observer Programme

Observers are welcome to help define the scope (i.e. functionality to be tested) for this event and to evaluate the tests statistics in the TRT (Test Reporting Tool).

In parallel to the testing, it is planned to organise an observer programme and demos. The focus of the observer programme is to examine and discuss the progress of deployment and the challenges in testing of the Mission Critical Services for Public Safety and Public Transport. The observer programme will be held remotely.

The observer programme will include remote demos from interested vendors, which can show how their solutions meet the MCX Plugtests test cases and observer scenario use cases.

Event type: Interoperability Events

ETSI Centre for Testing and Interoperability (CTI) is organizing a remote Plugtests interoperability event on JAdES (JSON Advanced Electronic Signature). This event, using a dedicated web portal, will be run remotely from 8 november to 17 December 2021. Originally planned to end on 28 November 2021, it has been extended from to 17 December 2021 upon request from the participants in order to complete their testing. The participation is free of charge.

Scope

This remote event aims at conducting interoperability and conformance testing on the new Technical Specification JAdES (JSON Advanced Electronic Signature) referenced as ETSI TS 119 182-1.

The JAdES digital signature specification is based on JSON Web Signature and contains the features already defined in the related ETSI standards for AdES (advanced electronic signature/seal) applied to other data formats including XML, PDF and binary. 

This new standard comes in support of secure communications fulfilling the requirements of the European Union eIDAS Regulation (No 910/2014) for advanced electronic signatures and seals and regulatory requirements for services such as open banking.

Format

As this is a remote event, there will be no need for the participants to travel to the ETSI premises and all signature exchanges and verifications will be performed via a dedicated portal. 

The remote testing is not performed in real time and the Plugtests portal will be available 24/7 for the full duration of the event to enable participants from all time zones to generate, upload and verify the signature at their own convenience
