Technical Information |
| Brief description of the testbed: |
| Arc Labs enables industry and research organisations, which would otherwise be unable to acquire sufficient hardware and software resources, to realise their business and strategic goals. The centre provides test and validation technologies for various areas (for example IMS, Security, Mobility, GPS/APRS, network management, location/positioning/sensor network)
The centre has a nationally unrivalled mobile communications facility which provides a Living Lab for real and rapid development, prototyping, interoperability, conformance testing and validation of wireless and mobile research. The test facility is securely and seamlessly integrated with quality of service and mobility management modules, in an open environment which is flexible and accessible from any remote location.
ArcLabs contains an OpenIMS Testbed which is based on the Fraunhofer Fokus implementation including an IMS core, a Presence, XDMS and OCS-X enablers . There are two testbeds, one externally accessible and one internal. Other related ArcLabs testbeds are listed in the Classifications section.

Operational information |
| Description of the services offered: |
| Testbed for the use of the IMS ARCS project partners and project development and testing objectives. |
| Planned evolution of the technologies used and services offered: |
| Due to WIT-TSSG involvement in many new FP7 EU projects, with specific activities in integration, testing and testbed activities this will add to and evolve the offerings of the WIT-TSSG testbed over time, enabling it to provide valuable services. |
| Objectives of the testbed: |
| The testbed infrastructure serves organizations that wish to verify and potentially integrate appropriate prototypes into a fully equipped wireless network that incorporates the end-user dimension. These organizations would typically be SMEs, Start-Ups and Academic institutions.
IMS Archs testbed will serve as a development and test platform for end user services and service enablers developed using IMS ARCS. Beyond the end of the project, the testbed will allow components to be tested for IMS standards compliance and may be used in other projects where IMS technologies are employed.
|
| Governance model: |
| WIT-TSSG are the owners of the testbed and facilitate access to the testbed. |
| Target
market: |
| SMEs, Start-Ups and Academic institutions. |
| Unique
offering: |
|
The test facility is enhanced by means of a human resource component - an end user community willing to participate in application testing. We call these people Testpilots.
