    Mobile network bandwidth is growing at an exponential rate but revenue per subscriber is flat. To ensure a competitive offering carriers and equipment vendors must address this paradox.  Ethernet & IP meet the bandwidth and cost targets but require rapid evolution to handle some of the key features of the TDM/ATM network. Testing with Spirent TestCenter in will ensure a seamless transition to IP & Ethernet mobile backhaul.

    Quality of Service. Spirent TestCenter’s advanced QoS testing capabilities ensure mobile voice, video and data traffic get the bandwidth they need and that traffic management schemes are working as expected even in worst case scenarios

    Carrier Grade. Timing and synchronization, connections and the management tools are inherit to TDM/ATM but are all new for Ethernet and IP. Spirent TestCenter is the only test tool with the accuracy required to ensure these new features are working correctly and don’t result in dropped calls or corrupt video & data.

    Converged. Spirent TestCenter is the only test platform capable of emulating real network topologies allowing collapsing of complex mobile network topologies to a single test port.
