Strengthening 5G networks and its commercialization, VIAVI aims to empower mobile operators
Viva Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) proudly announced that the company has provided industry-leading 5G wireless and optical test solutions to the world’s largest mobile operator China Mobile. VIAVI has been working closely with the operator since early 2018 in order to test the performance and capability of next-generation infrastructure for the commercial adoption of 5G technology in the future.
In 5G phase 1, during R&D test of wireless network equipment VIAVI supported CHINA Mobile Research Institute (CMRI) in rendering 5G base station performance using the VIAVI TM500 Network Tester. Network manufacturers and service providers use the TM500 to test complicated lab cases worldwide. Moreover, it includes 5G multi-UE peaks throughput testing, up to UL 8 layers and DL 16 layers.
The 5G speed mission to be closely connected
5G network testing is going around with focused result to get minimum disturbances through it. Following the same, VIAVI is connecting with China Mobile to support the development of Slicing Packet Network (SPN) with FlexE interface technology for 5G transport networks. VIAVI’s SPN features in the ONT-600 QFlex Module based on China Mobile specifications. In the recent OptiNet China Conference, the ONT-600 QFLEX module used by China Mobile in a 5G multi-vendor bearing network interoperability test fully demonstrated the technological advantages of SPN technology for high bandwidth, low latency, ultra-high precision synchronization, flexible management, and control.
Oleg Khaykin, President and CEO of VIAVI, said, “With 55 commercial networks expected by the end of 2019, this is the year the promise of 5G becomes reality. Next-generation network performance is expected to transcend today’s expectations for coverage, speed, and latency, delivering a truly transformational experience.” “Through close collaboration with committed market leaders such as China Mobile, VIAVI is helping to advance technology standards and launch the era of 5G mass adoption in China and around the world,” he boasted.
The VIAVI Lab To Field enables complete 5G lifecycle testing and assurance solutions such as:
- TM500 Network Tester – The tester is considered as the standard for lab validation as experienced by end users across multiple cells and different radio access technologies. The TM500 Network Tester is largely in use with almost every base station manufacturer across the world.
- TeraVM 5G Core Emulator – Arguably the first mobile core emulator solution compatible with both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) 3GPP standards. It enables complete end-to-end 5G base station testing and validation. It simplifies the development lifecycle of gNodeB (gNB) base stations for a more agile, 3GPP-compliant network.
- CellAdvisor 5G Base Station Analyzer – Overall the next-generation field equipment for every possible mobile service providers worldwide, and the first 5G base station analyzer support large-scale deployments.
- NITRO Mobile and NITRO GEO – The tech VIAVI NITRO™ Mobile captures, locates, and analyzes all mobile events across the RF, RAN, xHaul and core. NITRO GEO does the same with data collected from all subscriber events, giving operators a wide source of app-aware insight to further improve network performance and optimize the user experience.
