Providing network originated push messages for remotely testing a mobile device

摘要

Remote field testing of mobile communication devices is described herein. By way of example, network initiated data received at a mobile device or like device activated on a mobile network can be monitored. Further, an over the air (OTA) message sent by the mobile network to the monitored device can be identified. If pertinent to a test device or an application of the test device, the OTA message can be forwarded to the test device. In addition, an IP network, satellite network, or the other suitable remote network can be utilized to forward the OTA message. Accordingly, field testing can be implemented at a convenient place remote from the mobile network, reducing or avoiding time and cost associated with local field testing at wireless access points of the mobile network.
