E6950B eCall / NG-eCall / Hybrid eCall / China eCall AECS Testing Solution

This configuration guide describes the Keysight E6950B eCall, Next Generation eCall (NG eCall), Hybrid eCall, ERA-GLONASS, and China eCall (AECS) Conformance Test Solution. The document provides recommended hardware and software configurations required to validate automotive emergency calling systems and ensure compliance with evolving global emergency communication standards. The solution supports end-to-end validation of In-Vehicle Systems (IVS), including emergency call triggering, network connectivity establishment, Minimum Set of Data (MSD) transmission, Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) communication, voice connection verification, and standards conformance testing.

The guide explains how the solution leverages the Keysight UXM 5G Wireless Test Platform to emulate cellular network infrastructure across 2G, 3G, LTE, and 5G technologies. It also highlights integration with the Keysight PNT Xe GNSS simulation platform, which delivers repeatable and controlled positioning scenarios through multi-constellation and dual-frequency GNSS signal generation. Supported satellite systems include GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS, IRNSS, and SBAS, enabling realistic validation of emergency services functionality across regional deployment requirements.

The document details the role of the E6951B PSAP Emulator, which simulates emergency call centers, controls network and GNSS test environments, decodes MSD information, and verifies successful emergency call establishment and voice connectivity. Support is provided for European eCall, NG eCall, Hybrid eCall, Russian ERA-GLONASS, and China AECS implementations, helping automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, module manufacturers, and test laboratories reduce validation complexity and accelerate certification readiness.

In addition to describing the solution architecture, the guide provides ordering information and recommended product configurations. It includes hardware requirements for UXM and PNT Xe platforms as well as software licensing recommendations for PSAP functionality, IMS-SIP emulation, LTE and 5G network signaling, mobility testing, and automated conformance testing. Dedicated licensing tables are provided for legacy eCall, NG eCall, Hybrid eCall, and China eCall deployments, allowing users to identify mandatory and optional components for their target certification programs.

The guide also outlines PathWave Test Automation capabilities and associated automated test packages, including eCall, NG eCall, Hybrid eCall, GNSS, and China AECS test suites. These automation tools help organizations improve test efficiency, enhance repeatability, and support regulatory compliance across diverse regional emergency communication standards. Overall, the configuration guide serves as a practical reference for selecting, configuring, and deploying a comprehensive automotive emergency call conformance testing environment.
