DOCSIS and PacketCable device suppliers have consistently asked Kyrio to reduce the total amount of time a device spends in Certification in order to accelerate their sales cycle. With this in mind, we’ve created a pre-testing program that helps suppliers to save precious time and resources.
Pre-Testing for DOCSIS® and PacketCable™ 1.5 Certification
Accelerating DOCSIS Certification
Kyrio offers a Pre-testing program for DOCSIS Certification that rewards suppliers for submitting devices for Certification that test cleanly and quickly. This program will also help to:
-
- Ensure that future devices will test cleanly as well
-
- Debug an issue or verify a fix for an issue
-
- Test specific areas of a device:
- PHY compliance of new hardware
- Immunity against Wi-Fi or LTE
- Additional features: (Profile Management, LLD)
- Upcoming 4.0 Features
- Test specific areas of a device:
Kyrio Pre-Testing Services
Kyrio offers Basic, Advanced and Custom Pre-Testing services to help suppliers save time and money in getting their products to market, and, to gain the confidence they need to pass DOCSIS Certification.
Basic Pre-Testing
(6 tests)
This is a group of tests set as a “Sanity” or “Smoke” level test set and is the bare minimum needed to ensure that the device performs properly
Advanced Pre-Testing
(30+ tests)
Quality assurance and value-added investment to ensure a general “Acceptance” level test set has been completed successfully, thus reducing the chance of a high severity failure in the Certification cycle
Custom Pre-Testing
This service is intended to focus on troubleshooting issues that may have arisen in prior submissions or are known to the supplier
Pre-Testing for PacketCable Certification
Full Pre-Testing executes the complete suite of PC 1.5 Certification tests. The differences between Full Pre-testing and normal Certification testing are:
- Full Pre-testing results are returned only to the manufacturer, whereas Certification results are reported to the Certification Board for a Certification decision
- Full Pre-testing results may be requested independently of DOCSIS Certification testing, whereas PacketCable Certification testing must always be conducted in tandem with DOCSIS Certification testing
Reduced Pre-Testing is a comprehensive subset of tests from each PacketCable 1.5 Specification test plan, plus short duration system test scenarios:
Reduced Pre-Testing executes core protocol tests from:
-
- Network-based Call Signaling (NCS)

- Dynamic Quality of Service (DQoS)
- Security
- Provisioning (PROV)
- CODEC
