Test & Assurance for Edge Computing

CSPs are making significant investments into the edge opportunity and reducing network latency is a key driving factor behind this. But what is the demand for low latency from enterprises, and how low is “low”? Spirent teamed with STL Partners to interview more than 150 end users on app deployment plans and anticipated network requirements. This infographic examines the background behind these key findings: - The majority of enterprises’ latency needs can be met today - As they continue to transform and adopt more advanced use cases, latency requirements will become more stringent - New use cases (such as V2X) will require ultra-low latency, which edge computing will play a key role in delivering

A new Spirent report based on Spirent’s global edge network testing and 150 end user interviews reveals where market hype ends and commercial reality begins.

Comprehensive benchmarking testing across a wide range of locations, both urban and rural, is required to determine edge location placements for operators to achieve their latency goals.

SPs need unbiased industry-recognized benchmarking to validate their mobile network’s performance for latency, optimal gaming experience and to identify areas for service optimization.

Gaming’s new innovations will redefine networking, challenging 5G capabilities, requiring smart strategies in test and validation for low latency edge.

Service providers need qualified benchmarking of mobile network performance to win in the critical markets of gaming and other latency-sensitive applications.

Learn why active assurance merits serious consideration as a cost-effective, scalable, highly-effective means of ensuring networks deliver on their promise.
