2 CDG IRT – Kickoff Meeting Conference Call for 10/29/07
What is the ‘Stage 1 Acceptance Test Plan’ - 02-Feb 2005’?
+ The intent of Acceptance Test Plan is to verify that international roaming is functional between CDMA
International Roaming Partner Networks.
+ To confirm capability and sample the quality of service which CDMA Subscribers will receive when roaming from
their home network to the international roaming partner network
+ Document was never finalized or tested

Why it is important to finalize…
+ Other Task groups are working on ‘Operational Agreements’, and ‘Trouble Reporting’ forms… yet basic standardized
Testing between International Roaming partners hasn’t been completed to ‘certify or baseline’ roaming quality
+ Should have a ‘standardized INDUSTRY Test Plan’ if goal is to have standard Operational Agreements
+ By improving quality of service (network testing) and making testing processes more efficient we will expedite roaming
revenue and will be more competitive with GSM operators.

Roaming Qualification form, Voice and SMS Technical Data Sheets etc..)
