Spirent’s Landslide 5G Core (5GC) Automation Package contains test cases that network engineers can use to develop functional and performance tests, among others. Core networks perform many functions in cellular networks such as authenticating users, providing subscribed services, security, and connecting users to requested applications. 3GPP defines standards for how these 5G network functions communicate.…

Webinar: Hear from the experts on Open RAN
5G Technology world will host a discussion on Open RAN technology on June 16, 2021. Register here.
5G, B5G, 6G: A tale of two similar conferences
Two conferences, held at the same time, covered mostly the same topics.
Why 5G needs over-the-air testing
Over-the-air testing requires different antenna setups for 5G FR1 and FR2. Temperature is a significant factor in calibration and validation.
Spirent acquires octoScope, gets into Wi-Fi and 5G
Spirent adds test chambers and peripherals to its product line.
Why open RAN needs testing to ensure interoperability
In a video interview, James Kimery of Spirent Communications explains how test plays the role of arbiter of communications among radio units, distribution units, and centralized units.
5G operators must improvise to improve security
As 5G grows, operators must act swiftly to word off bad actors, especially with COVID-19 adding stress to wired and wireless networks. Networks need digital twins and the industry needs a certification body.
How to test time-sensitive networks effectively
Connected vehicles depend on networks that won’t bog down when handling real-time data. Specialized TSN tests ensure messages arrive on time and intact. Jeff Warra, Spirent ETHERNET has been the backbone of IT infrastructure for more than 40 years, but it was never designed to be a determinist network. That’s why, over time, Ethernet standards […]
