Demand for next-gen network testing and
assurance solutions outpaces expectations as mobile ecosystem
accelerates pursuit of 5G deployments
Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT), a leading provider of
test, assurance and analytics solutions for next-generation devices
and networks, today announced that it closed more than 100
5G-related deals during 2019. The surge in 5G business is being
driven by accelerated deployment timetables that require complex
testing and the need to incorporate assurance into new, next-gen
networks for guaranteed quality. Spirent is now engaged in more
than 150 global 5G initiatives with a broad mix of operators,
device makers, network equipment manufacturers, academic
institutions, government and cloud providers.
More than half of Spirent’s 5G business is taking place in the
Asia-Pacific region as countries like South Korea gain traction
with customized offerings tailored to data-hungry subscribers
consuming high-bandwidth content such as AR and VR. In China, the
company is supporting nationwide efforts to prepare the transport
network and data center architecture for mass market deployments.
About one-third of Spirent’s 5G deals are in the Americas, with the
remainder across Europe. 5G transport, 5G core and 5G RAN projects
comprise the majority of deals as operators pursue a range of
network rollout strategies.
“If you took the industry’s pulse early last year, all eyes were
on 2020 for mass movement in 5G, but those timetables have been
turned on their heads as operators navigate an expanding set of
market dynamics that demand speed and scale,” said Spirent Head of
5G Steve Douglas.
From staking out major service differentiation and getting ahead
of early price wars, to urgently wanting to explore the market
opportunity for new offerings, operators that engage Spirent view
5G as a multi-pronged answer to a range of competitive challenges
on the horizon. Smaller operators have taken note and are exploring
hybrid approaches that see implementation of a 5G core while
continuing to operate 4G radios. A major deal driver for Spirent
has been the need to test transport networks for high capacities as
global markets eye more near-term commercial deployments.
Advancements in 5G are driving aligned initiatives as well.
Spirent is seeing requests for the first real stress testing of
edge clouds as commercial deployments are anticipated for 2020. The
company is also managing requirements for video and QoS testing in
a world where content is overwhelmingly not optimized for 5G
networks. This requires the creation of optimized testing that can
be hosted and tested as operators eye the delivery of commercial
video service as a future market brimming with opportunity.
“For as much traction as we’re seeing, this is really just the
tip of the iceberg,” said Douglas. “5G brings with it, as we
expected, a host of opportunities and our focus is on staying
several steps ahead with the testing, assurance and security
solutions that help our customers confidently go to market at
scale.”
