Testing Environment

Basic setup:


In order to test many of our client server applications in the real mobile network a basic setup of Mobile devices with working SIM cards (GPRS, 3G) and the mobilehuh.uiah.fi server is sufficient. Access from the mobile devices via the the mobile operators data netork based on TCP/IP sockets or HTTP connections is often enough.

Current technology and devices:
• Variety of Mobile Devices, add-ons and SIM cards
• 1 Server (mobilehub.uiah.fi)

Server software packages:
MySQL
PHP
Python

Advanced setup:


A permanent server connection from the mobilehub.uiah.fi server to a mobile operator network allows a rich variety of testing opportunities with a real network. We therefore plan in the near future to connect to a "research mobile operator network" like e.g. Octopus. Only SIM cards provided by the Octopus network will work. Through this we are then able to provide an own:

• Mobile content delivery platform (for applications, games, flash content, video, sounds etc.)
• MMS service
• SMS service
• Video streaming
• SIP services
• Presence services
• Wap-push services
• IMS server
• Location based services

Bboth GSM/GPRS and 3G networks will provide access.
