eBox
Validation of Content Delivery over LTE
The ENENSYS eBox is a complete, compact and portable test tool, used to validate Video
and Files Content Delivery over LTE networks
Highlights
Included components
eBox is a real LTE Broadcast network. It includes a RAN (MCE/eNodeB), an EPC (MME, MBMS Gateway, S/P-Gateway, HSS), and a BM-SC server, the MediaCast Mobile. It comes in a small box, with all components pre-integrated - shortening test cycles and time-to-market. All components are 3GPP compliant and carrier-grade. It supports any LTE Broadcast enabled hand-held device integrated with the ENENSYS CubeAgent Middleware or any other 3GPP compliant Middleware.
Full eMBMS (LTE-Broadcast) support
eBox is geared with a fully 3GPP eMBMS compliant BM-SC.
eBox BM-SC supports 3GPP MooD (Multicast Operation On-Demand). It monitors content viewership and switches distribution automatically to Multicast upon detection of customer-configured thresholds.
Rich and flexible scenario support
eBox supports a full set of rich content distribution use cases, including DASH, live video delivery, RTP like streaming, MooD (Multicast operation on Demand), network continuity, filecasting. Each scenario can easily be played/modified through the application interface.
User-Friendly GUI interface, easy to set-up and configure
A GUI allows you to play/Modify registered scenarios, monitor LTE traffic, manage LTE band, and cells gain, monitor File Repair, Reception Report, and Consumption Reports. As well as upgrading all components of the eBox.
