Spirent FlexE-100 module chosen to provide
network slicing functional and performance testing
Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT), the trusted provider of
test, measurement, assurance and analytics solutions for
next-generation devices and networks, today announced that it will
collaborate with China Mobile to assure readiness of
mission-critical 5G applications via network slicing transport
standard testing and validation. The newly-launched Spirent
FlexE-100 test module has been chosen to test functional and
performance aspects related to 5G transport SPN (Slicing Packet
Network).
Commenting on the next-generation network testing work, Li Han,
Vice Director of the Department of Network and IT Technology
Research at the China Mobile Research Institute, said: “As
operators, network equipment manufacturers and chip suppliers are
developing SPN/MTN-enabled products, and exploring and expanding
their applications in various scenarios, China Mobile has deployed
5G commercial SPN transport, providing reliable SLA for different
5G applications through multi-layer network slicing. We are pleased
that Spirent launched the FlexE-100 test module on its flagship
Spirent TestCenter platform and look forward to continuing our
cooperation on SPN/MTN testing and use case development, with the
goal of driving the commercial deployment of 5G transport
network.”
SPN has been accepted by the ITU Telecommunication
Standardization Sector (ITU-T) for further work towards the G.mtn
(Metro Transport Network) standard series, which provides an
end-to-end transport network architecture that enables network
slicing to meet the most demanding requirements of 5G applications.
These standards are essential to successful deployment of
ultra-reliable low-latency, high bandwidth, massive, scalable 5G
services. Standards-based testing for SPN validates use cases,
technologies and solutions prior to deployment, improving
interoperability. Spirent’s FlexE-100 test module will be utilized
to test the functional, performance and specification aspects
related to 5G transport SPN.
Spirent is first to market with its comprehensive, end-to-end 5G
transport and network slicing testing solution, which addresses the
challenges of 5G transport by offering scalable protocol emulation
and L2-L7 traffic generation over the slicing channel layer. It
provides comprehensive feature support, unmatched scalability and
the highest port density and forwarding performance. Spirent’s
solution expands SPN network slicing test capabilities to help
ensure the diverse bandwidth, latency, security and time
synchronization required by 5G applications.
“Spirent is a pioneer in providing innovative test solutions for
new technologies and we will continue to invest in solutions that
support the development of the 5G network and assure the promise of
services delivered over it,” said Abhitesh Kastuar, General Manager
of Cloud and IP at Spirent. “Spirent has a long-standing
relationship with China Mobile, having worked together on 3G, 4G
LTE and now 5G technology testing, product validation and
deployment. Spirent will support China Mobile to test all aspects
of 5G and accelerate the deployment of SPN/MTN technology.”
Spirent’s FlexE-100 solution is the world’s highest density
FlexE 100GBASE-R PHY tester. It is designed for validating
next-generation Flex Ethernet supported routers and data center
fabrics to promote the deployment of FlexE technology in data
centers, MAN, as well as for validating SPN/MTN network devices to
enable channel switching and network slicing in the 5G transport
network.
