System and method for testing and verifying mobile device operability in a remote location

A computer-implemented method for testing mobile device operability on a remote cellular communication networks, the method comprising:

• receiving, via an input device, one or more parameters corresponding to a mobile device;
• receiving, via the input device, a selection of a specific geographic location;
• determining, via one or more processors of an emulation server, a specific base station from the plurality of base stations on a cellular communication network, where the specific base station corresponds to the specific geographic location;
• generating, via one or more processors of the emulation server, a clone image including a clone mobile device, a clone base station, and a clone serving gateway, where the clone mobile device is based on the mobile device corresponding to the one or more parameters, and where the clone base station corresponds to the specific base station and is configured to communicate with the cellular communication network as the specific base station via the clone serving gateway;
• emulating, via the emulation server, the clone image such that the clone mobile device interacts with the clone base station to communicate with the cellular communication network through the clone base station and the clone serving gateway;
• and
• determining, via the one or more processors of the emulation server, one or more operating values indicative of a performance of communication between the clone mobile device and the clone base station of the clone image during the emulation of the clone image.

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a system, cause the system to:

• receive, via an input device communicatively coupled to a network, one or more parameters corresponding to a mobile device;
• receive, via the input device, a selection of a specific geographic location;
• determine, via one or more processors of the emulation server, a specific base station from the plurality of base stations on a cellular communication network, where the specific base station corresponds to the specific geographic location;
• generate, via one or more processors of the emulation server, a clone image including a clone mobile device, a clone base station, and a clone serving gateway, where the clone mobile device is based on the mobile device corresponding to the one or more parameters, and where the clone base station corresponds to the specific base station and is configured to communicate with the cellular communication network as the specific base station via the clone serving gateway;
• emulate, via the emulation server, the clone image such that the clone mobile device interacts with the clone base station to communicate with the cellular communication network through the clone base station and the clone serving gateway;
• and
• determine one or more operating values indicative of a performance of communication between the clone mobile device and the clone base station of the clone image during the emulation of the clone image.
