Assuring the Evolution to 5G Poster

We’ve entered the era of 5G, with blazingly fast speeds, vast coverage density, large area traffic capacity, and super low latency. 5G is more than a step up from 4G; it’s a radical leap that dramatically improves mobile broadband services and empowers the Internet of Things (IoT) by enabling connectivity to billions of global devices.

Most providers are taking an evolutionary approach to 5G, starting with 4G evolved pack core (EPC) control / user plane separation (CUPS), then migrating to 5G non-standalone (NSA), and finally deploying full native 5G or adopting Open RAN (O-RAN). Assuring a successful journey from 4G to native 5G requires the ability to test and assure every phase of the journey and every stage of the service lifecycle.

Spirent solutions test and assure your evolution to 5G across the service lifecycle — from the lab to the production network. Download our poster depicting 5G network functions for a quick look at the overall structure of the 5G network and associated services.
