Embracing the Network Edge with the Spirent Mobile Test Platform:
To effectively test and monitor network performance end-to-end, it is crucial to fully embrace the network edge. The Spirent Mobile Test Platform (MTP) has been developed to meet the increasing demand for assurance solutions that can ensure performance and quality of experience at the edge during pre-deployment, verification, and ongoing service management.
“The ability to effectively test and monitor network performance end-to-end must fully embrace the edge,” emphasizes Charles Thompson, VP of product management at Spirent. “Assurance solutions need to keep up with increasingly stringent thresholds to ensure performance and quality of experience at the edge during pre-deployment, verification, and ongoing service management. This is why we have developed the MTP.”
The Spirent MTP is the result of combining Spirent’s industry-leading Fit4Launch and service assurance solutions. It enables systematic performance monitoring and ad hoc testing from the edge of the network. The data collected can be consumed and integrated for deeper network analytics at a larger scale, providing unparalleled network visibility and analysis.
Unleashing the Power of OTA Capabilities:
By leveraging the existing fixed and mobile network assurance solutions from Spirent along with the OTA capability of the MTP, customers can deploy and assure new 5G services with confidence. The solution enables operators to quickly detect and isolate faults anywhere in the network before end customers even realize there was a problem. This capability is essential for delivering seamless and reliable 5G services to both consumer and enterprise customers.
“The MTP’s optimized hardware platform combines the capabilities of bulky individually mounted test devices into a single, compact, and powerful self-contained unit that is easy to ship, simple to deploy, and capable of being updated centrally,” explains Thompson. “The ability to test, update, and continuously monitor network services at the edge for seamless data analysis will be another powerful tool for operators to ensure they are providing the best quality user experiences.”
