Core networks testing

Valid8 5G core networks performance test provides an all-in-one, cost-effective and scalable 3G, 4G, 5G RAN & UE emulator in software and generate realistic traffic towards the mobile core network. The scalable software-based architecture can run on a range of hardware from COTS and high-end customer provided hardware to Virtual Machines and the Cloud (e.g. Amazon AWS) for maximum versatility and performance. Web-based UI is easy to learn, and HTTP API enable integration with automation test systems and other equipment. Stateful modeling provides accurate emulation of network elements.

Features:

• Connect on IuCS/ IuPS (3G), S1 (4G), N2 (5G)
• S1 Flex
• Realistic network emulation of up to 1,000s of UE devices and 800 TPS per core (scalable)
• Up to 1Gbs data rate per S1, N2, Iu-CS/PS link
• Feed in stateful traffic from a 3rd party source
• True stateful simulation
• Signaling request/response messages for call handling, mobility management, authentication, QoS
• Report on media received, call connect time, call duration, jitter, packet loss
• Generate valid and invalid/negative messages and call-scenarios (fully editable scenarios)
• Supports sending invalid messages including malformed, dropped, and misordered packets
• Check parameters in messages from SUT and flag errors
• 3GPP-compliant interfaces
• Alerts and notifications
