The scale of the network has increased while simultaneously converging richer services, more traffic and more types of traffic. Will your device or network:

  • Maintain thousands of subscriber sessions with a high quality of experience for sensitive applications such as voice or video?
  • Maintain thousands of MPLS tunnels and achieve the forwarding performance required by latency and jitter sensitive applications while simultaneously handling low priority traffic?
  • Maintain stringent service quality levels across all business customers as per service level agreements?
  • Sustain high quality of service with redundancy and high availability for mobile backhaul and mission critical applications?
  • Use several protocols simultaneously to reliably deliver multicast video, voice, data and other services?

Spirent TestCenter focuses the most flexible, scalable and reliable test system in the industry on testing the highly-integrated, converged, anything-over-anything networks of today and tomorrow.

More economical. Use Spirent TestCenter to decrease the cost and complexity of testing with Topology Emulation (TE), the only single-system solution available for realistic testing of multi-play services and control and data plane protocols over MPLS and routed networks.

More effective. Improve product quality with increased test realism. The multi-dimensional architecture of Hypermetrics test modules makes this possible by enabling you to scale the number of ports, subscribers, sessions, routes, tunnels, VLANs and stateful multi-play traffic on demand.

More efficient. Improve productivity by reducing time to test with test wizards, reducing the time to get the results you want when you want them with Intelligent Results, and reducing the time to automate test cases with NoCode™ automation.
