Open RAN rewrites network-testing rules
Open radio access networks (Open RAN) bring new testing responsibilities that service providers haven’t had to contend with before. Learn why Open RAN changes the game for testing and validating network components, and how operators should approach these complex new requirements.
Is 5G/Wi-Fi convergence coming?
Smooth transitions from 5G to Wi-Fi networks as you move seems obvious, but technology differences keep convergence from solidifying.
2022: The 5G predictions
Several standouts for 2022 reached our editorial offices. We present them here.. As one year ends and another begins, so come the predictions. Over the past two years, we’ve seen how predicting the upcoming year is harder than ever. That doesn’t stop anyone from trying, though. How many of us throught we’ve still be dealing…
Subscription test suite automates 5G core network testing
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.
