Introduction
This ATP can be used for both 2G and 3G networks. For 2G
networks, the components are BSC at the Hub side and BTS at the
remote site. For 3G networks, the components are RNC at the Hub
side and Node B at the remote site.
 The customer is responsible to supply a 2G/3G network, connected to the Internet

and the PSTN
 The 2G/3G network should be enabled to work with Satellite delay on the A-bis
interface
 Specific tests in this ATP require the customer to supply equipment (phones, SIM
cards, PCs, applications, switches, servers, ports, etc.) in order for these tests to be
carried out. Failure to supply this equipment will prevent these tests from being
performed.
 A 2G/3G service engineer who is familiar with 2G/3G over Satellite must be present
during the integration and testing process. The engineer must be capable of “tuning”
the BTS/ NodeB configuration. It should be noted that if remote-controlled
configuration of the BTS/ NodeB is not possible, the engineer may be required to
travel to remote BTS/ NodeB sites in order to perform such configuration
 If the ATP includes customer specific applications, they must be pre-tested to verify
that they can be run over the satellite link.
This document details the Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) for testing the 2G/3G
Remote Site installation. It also serves to record the Acceptance Test Results
(ATR).
The ATP describes the test procedures in a general manner, and not necessarily as
detailed step-by-step procedures. These tests must be performed by
knowledgeable and experienced technical personnel.
Testing will take place upon completion of the remote site installation. This testing
will include formal remote site service testing. These tests verify that end-to-end
communications is properly established.
 The tests contained in this document constitute the ATP. These tests must be
witnessed by the customer. Results will be summarized and a punch list
generated (if necessary) upon completion of the testing. The result section of
each test is a summary of the major results and is to be signed both by the
customer and tester.

Prerequisites
 The co-located Node B/BTS should work terrestrially with the RNC/BSC prior
to starting the ATP. As part of the prerequisites for the ATP, these
components should be connected through a delay simulator and it should be
verified that calls and SMSs are received and transmitted properly with a
delay of up to 850msec.
 All the NODE B/BTS stations that will be working through the SkyEdgeII-c
system should reside within a separate “Location Area Code” (LAC) that will
not include any terrestrial, microwave, or other NODE B/BTSs. The reason is
due to the paging process, which should be using different timers if the NODE
B/BTS is terrestrial, microwave, satellite or other.

Test Configuration
The system and protocol parameters are set as expected in the operational
network according to the Sizing Spreadsheet. If Technical Support personnel
determine that some parameter changes are required or, if the Sizing Spreadsheet
is not available, they will perform the necessary changes at the site. A diagram of
the network is shown in the figure below.

The mobile telephones referred to in this drawing are configured to
communicate as follows:
Test Philosophy
The philosophy of this ATP is to test critical functions in an operational
environment. Thus, “artificial” configurations are not used. The ATP is intended to
be carried out by a knowledgeable tester with specific details explained to a
customer witness as necessary. It is suggested that the Gilat test director maintain
the “official” copy of the ATP document and that all parties involved initial any
changes made.
 For all procedures in this ATP, both the Gilat and customer
representatives should initial each test result in the form for
each test procedure.
 The ATP will be performed after the final configuration of
the network.
