Andrew Solutions offers two SUPL Interoperability testing (IOT) options for handset (SET) vendors wishing to validate interoperability with the Andrew GeoLENs™ SUPL Server.

The first option available is the purchase of a specific number of dedicated hours for handset IOT in an Andrew Solutions GeoLENs lab. The second option is a testing package with a fixed annual price, offering substantial benefits versus the per-session testing option.

Option 1 : Per Session SUPL IOT

The Andrew Solutions GeoLENs “Per Session” option is available for handset vendors who wish to purchase only a specific timeslot of hours to perform Interoperability testing with an Andrew SUPL server. SUPL IOT hours can be purchased for dedicated testing to the Andrew Solution SUPL Server. This option includes dedicated access to an Andrew Solutions SUPL Server and guided testing supervision by a trained Andrew Solution Interoperability test prime. A summary of test results will be provided by Andrew Solutions for tests completed on a SET(s).

Option 2 : Annual SUPL Interoperability Testing Package

The Andrew Solutions GeoLENs Annual package includes:

• 40 Hours / 5 days of dedicated access to an Andrew Solutions GeoLENs SLP. Handset vendor may select either remote testing access or direct on-site access. The 40 access hours include dedicated testing supervision by a trained Andrew Solution Interoperability test prime. These hours may be used to test one SET or multiple SETs, but the total number of testing access hours is fixed at 40.
• Additional dedicated hours may be purchased at a reduced rate, and appended to the existing annual agreement/ package.
• Andrew Solutions report summarizing test results specific to each SET tested with the Andrew GeoLENs SUPL Server during these dedicated hours. At the handset vendor’s option test results may be shared with Service Providers to demonstrate interoperability with the Andrew Solutions GeoLENs SUPL Server.
• Unlimited shared access during off-peak hours, and as available during regular business hours (eg when the lab SLP system is not in use for dedicated testing with another handset vendor). Such off-peak shared access IOT timeslots are unsupervised by Andrew Solutions, and performance of the lab SLP system cannot be guaranteed. The intent of making the system available in this unsupervised manner is to allow handset partners to perform vendor specific tests with the Andrew GeoLENs SUPL server to perform self-managed IOT testing, or to test fixes for problems found during previous dedicated testing sessions. Off-peak/as available benefit is not available to vendors who select the Per Session pricing option (Option 1).
• Priority booking for dedicated testing access with the AndrewAndrew Solutions lab facilities.
• Program updates from Andrew Solutions regarding upcoming GeoLENs SUPL features that will be available for Interoperability testing in the future.
