- Anritsu announces that its Hybrid eCall evaluation solution, including the MX703330E tester, has achieved EN 18052:2025 certification.
- This certification, issued by cetecom advanced, validates the solution’s compliance for the comprehensive evaluation of Hybrid eCall systems operating on 2G, 3G, and 4G networks.
Hybrid eCall technology combines 4G (LTE) packet-switched communications with 2G (GSM/GPRS) / 3G (W-CDMA) circuit-switched networks, ensuring optimal continuity of emergency calls. Since January 1, 2026, compliance with Next Generation eCall (NG eCall) is mandatory for all new vehicle type approvals in the European Union. Anritsu’s solution enables automotive manufacturers and suppliers to validate their Hybrid eCall systems, ensuring their compliance with European regulatory requirements.
The eCall system automatically triggers an emergency call in the event of an accident, transmitting essential data (location, vehicle information) to emergency response centers (PSAPs). EN 18052:2025 certification confirms that Anritsu’s solution meets European standards for interoperability and communication performance between vehicles, mobile network operators, and PSAPs.
Key features of the Anritsu solution:
Anritsu’s solution integrates a PSAP simulation environment to test Hybrid eCall systems embedded in vehicles. It consists of:
- MD8475B signaling tester to simulate mobile networks.
- MX703330E eCall tester to evaluate the performance of eCall systems.
- NG eCall and Hybrid eCall software options for feature evaluation.
Advantages of this eCall testing solution:
- Unified testing: Evaluation of Hybrid eCall systems on a single platform.
- Simplified testing: Thanks to dedicated software, eliminating the need for multiple applications.
- Call continuity validation: Testing of seamless VoLTE (Voice over LTE) call failover to 2G or 3G networks via the SRVCC (Single Radio Voice Call Continuity) feature.
