Rohde & Schwarz has successfully passed its re-certification of its EU eCall test solution conducted by the
independent test house cetecom advanced. This achievement underscores the commitment of both
companies to providing standards-compliant, next generation eCall test solutions and reinforces their
position as industry leaders.
The new eCall Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1180, which took effect on May 9, 2024, includes updates
for 2G and 3G circuit switched (CS) eCall. In response, Rohde & Schwarz has updated its R&S CMW-KA094
eCall end-to-end (E2E) conformance test solution to ensure compliance with the latest eCall regulations and
standards such as EN 16454:2023. This update enables manufacturers and suppliers to meet the new
requirements and ensures seamless integration of eCall in-vehicle systems (IVS).
The re-certification by cetecom advanced confirms that the R&S CMW-KA094 eCall test software, which
simulates a public safety answering point (PSAP), meets the requirements for handling eCalls, receiving
emergency data and interacting with in-vehicle eCall systems. This puts manufacturers and suppliers, who
use the Rohde & Schwarz solution, in a favourable position for acceptance tests of their emergency call
systems and highlights Rohde & Schwarz’s commitment to providing comprehensive and reliable eCall test
solutions.
Rohde & Schwarz and cetecom advanced also agreed to continue their cooperation and jointly bring up a
standard compliant test solution for next generation eCall using 4G and 5G network infrastructure for lab
testing. cetecom advanced, a designated technical service for eCall, supports the current revisions of the
relevant NG eCall standards from CEN (e.g. EN 17240, EN 17184 and EN 16072) and has a long history in
the area of eCall testing, certification and standardization. The test solution is based on the R&S CMX500,
an all-in-one 4G/5G radio communication tester, which has been selected by cetecom advanced for their lab
as test platform for NG eCall conformance tests. The R&S CMX500 exhibits features such as internal IMS
server with MSD via SIP support, VoLTE/VoNR testing for eCall service, and furthermore unique IP and
application test capabilities.
With the joint verification of the R&S CMX-KA098 NG eCall test software from Rohde & Schwarz in
cooperation with cetecom advanced, customers receive a test solution that complies with the latest CEN
standards for NG eCall, thereby enabling the industry to adopt next generation eCall which will be mandatory
for all vehicle suppliers supplying the European market from 2026.
