New Data Generation Performance Mode

Leveraging the Spirent C100's multi-core CPU architecture and hardware acceleration on the AONIC 10G interface module, this release introduces a new data generation performance mode. This mode enables up to 50Gbps per server.

VoLTE

Landslide 11.5 adds SRVCC voice handoff testing from VoLTE to UMTS. This compliments Landslide’s rich VoLTE test capabilities including VoLTE calling and IMS Node features to test the VoLTE infrastructures control and data signaling at scale. SIP calls can be originated or terminated by emulated UEs.

Wi-Fi Offload

Landslide now supports handover testing between a Wi-Fi network and an LTE network. The SGW-nodal test case now supports testing both a Wi-Fi Offload Gateway and SGW to verify Wi-Fi to LTE Mobility functionality between the two devices.

DRA Node and Nodal

The DRA use cases added in the 11.2 release have been enhanced to support one-armed testing of a combination of DRA nodes and real network elements. Landslide will either act as one side of a diameter exchange through a real DRA talking to either real Diameter Nodes (MME, HSS, PCEF or PCRF) or both sides of the exchange.

Equipment Identity Register (S13/S13’)

3GPP TS 23.401 specifies the mobile equipment identity check procedure as a means to determine if the UE has faults or has been stolen. L-FT-057 LANDSLIDE EIR Server Emulation, adds the Equipment Identity Register and associated S13/S13’ to HSS node and nodal.

Landslide Studio Mobile Applications and Security

The Landslide Basic Studio LiteDMF is a purpose-built testing solution that recreates a mix of application traffic based on real applications running on real devices in real networks. The Spirent Studio platform is used to extensively test content aware devices as DPI devices and firewalls. In support of this testing, Spirent Studio supports popular applications (facebook, skype, youtube, etc) from a variety of OSs including IOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows. By integrating Studio into the Landslide application Spirent enables testing content aware mobile networks with Landslides highly realistic highly scalable AnyG mobility scenarios and highly realistic mobile app traffic. The combined solution is ideal for testing content based policy, DPI, mobile security, application based billing etc. New applications continually are being added to the database to keep pace the trends in the rapidly evolving mobile app market.

3GPP Specification Updates

This release includes LTE updates to September 2012 R10 and R11 3GPP LTE Specifications. Landslide now supports as many as fourteen (14) distinct versions of the principle LTE interface and protocol specifications spanning four 3GPP release versions (R8, R9, R10, R11). Refer to the 11.5 Interfaces & Specifications document for details.
