5G deployments will enable enhanced mobile broadband services with higher data rates, increased capacity, and lower latencies. New business opportunities and increased revenue sources can be found in fixed wireless access (FWA) and massive and critical IoT services in sectors like automotive, manufacturing, energy and utilities.
But to ensure the carrier-grade quality required to carry this wireless traffic, service providers need to characterize and continuously validate their 5G Core network in the lab and pre-production deployments. This requires testing with not only a strong 4G anchor in RAN but also the 5G NR plus extended capacity in the 4G EPC.
Open this document to understand how Ixia products and solutions can solve these 5G network test challenges.
