– EN 17240:2024-Compliant PSAP Simulator Enables Type-Approval Testing for Mandatory European Safety Systems –
Vienna, Austria – 31 July 2025 – ANRITSU CORPORATION announced today that its eCall Tester MX703330E has received certification from cetecom advanced, a leading test laboratory for communication technologies. The certification validates the MX703330E as a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) simulator that meets the rigorous NG eCall conformance test standard EN 17240:2024. This certification positions the MX703330E as a proven, compliant PSAP simulator essential for NG eCall vehicle type-approval testing a critical requirement as Europe prepares for mandatory implementation.
Addressing Critical Safety Infrastructure Needs
The Next Generation eCall (NG eCall) system represents a significant advancement in automotive safety technology. When a traffic accident occurs, the car’s In-Vehicle System (IVS) automatically initiates an emergency call and transmits vital accident information directly to emergency response centers. By leveraging next-generation communication networks including LTE, NG eCall enables faster, more reliable emergency responses that can save lives.
European regulations mandate NG eCall for all new vehicle types beginning January 1, 2026. This regulatory requirement makes EN 17240:2024 certified PSAP simulators essential for vehicle manufacturers seeking vehicle type-approval testing in European markets.
Comprehensive Testing Solution
The eCall Tester MX703330E software precisely replicates the complex communication sequences between NG eCall/eCall in-vehicle systems and PSAPs. When paired with Anritsu’s Signalling Tester MD8475B, the solution simulates LTE/WCDMA/GSM networks, creating a comprehensive test environment that meets both:
- European NG eCall conformance standards (EN 17240:2024)
- Conventional eCall conformance test requirements (EN 16454:2023)
This dual capability ensures automotive manufacturers can efficiently conduct all necessary certification testing with a single, integrated solution.
Supporting Global Automotive Innovation
Anritsu continues to expand its NG eCall and eCall test solutions across multiple countries, providing automotive manufacturers with the tools needed to navigate complex certification requirements and bring life-saving safety technologies to market faster.
