Sophia Antipolis, France, 10 June 2022

Based on 3GPP Release-17, 338 tests were executed between the different vendors in 60 test sessions, to validate 3GPP mission critical services vendor interoperability. The MCX Plugtests test specification has been amended with additional rail specific test scenarios and will be included in a future version of ETSI TS 103 564.

Additionally, five observations were gathered during the Plugtests event preparation and testing. They provide essential feedback to 3GPP Working Groups as work continues on mission critical communication specifications.

The next MCX#7 Plugtests event is planned for 07 to 11 November 2022 at the University of Malaga in Spain.
