Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT), the trusted provider of
test, measurement, assurance and analytics solutions for
next-generation devices and networks, today announced its work with
China Telecom on system-wide performance verification and
assessment efforts for 5G Standalone (SA) network equipment. China
Telecom used Spirent Landslide to rapidly test 5G core network
commercial equipment from four vendors, conducting end-to-end
system function verification and interoperability. This development
marks a critical step forward in the scaled deployment of 5G SA
networks.
“The system-wide performance verification of 5G SA core network
commercial equipment completed jointly by Spirent, China Telecom
and four vendors is a milestone event with great significance to
the commercialization of 5G,” says Mr. Jacky Wu, Senior Director
for Business Development of Spirent Communications. “Spirent
Landslide delivered effective assurance to these tests, provided
valuable reference data for equipment vendors to further optimize
offerings, and laid a solid foundation for the scaled deployment of
5G SA.”
According to Spirent’s “5G: What To Expect In 2020” report,
network equipment manufacturers and operators globally are
accelerating 5G SA timetables, driven by a number of factors,
including inability to achieve market differentiation with 5G
Non-Standalone. Performance of 5G core networks is paramount for
attracting enterprise investment, trust and use case adoption. This
is driving operators to expedite realistic and authentic system
testing emulating real world conditions, spanning a range of
network elements and complex procedures and bringing higher
stability and endurance requirements.
In the tests for China Telecom, Spirent Landslide is used to
simulate large-scale 5G devices and base stations to test scenarios
such as large-scale end point registration, session setup and
service traffic ramp-ups for core network elements. These tests and
verifications help China Telecom validate and assess system
stability and resource utilization of 5G core network equipment
from different vendors. They also demonstrate the influence of
underlying architectures on the system performance of 5G core
networks, helping carriers achieve early deployment and
commercialization of 5G SA networks. China Telecom achieved a
series of innovative outcomes in service models, traffic ratio and
rules, constructing over 40,000 identification rules, and
thoroughly verifying the overall performance and deep packet
inspection capabilities of its 5G core network system.
Spirent Landslide is an advanced mobile core network performance
testing solution from Spirent’s Lifecycle Service Assurance
business. The solution is capable of simulating millions of mobile
data subscribers accessing wireless networks in various modes,
allowing carriers to perform accurate tests on 5G core networks,
radio and transportation infrastructures to assure they are ready
for 5G commercialization. The Landslide virtual solution
successfully supports this large-scale commercial performance
validation which comes with stringent requirements of 48 hour
non-stop operation and 99.999% success rate.
