WHITE PAPER
Accelerating E2E 5G Network Deployment from the Lab Environment to the Live Network
This white paper provides an overview of testing requirements within the 5G domain, offering insights on proven effective next-generation testing automation solutions. This paper covers the following:
The evolving landscape and underlying challenges of 5G
5G deployment objectives
The importance of a next-gen strategy in 5G deployment
A model for next-gen test automation
Technology testing requirements for 5G
5G domain test objectives
Evolving requirements of a 5G testing strategy
The importance of rethinking 5G validation
Sample benefits of a proven Test as a Service solution
The paper's primary focus is on the End-to-End (E2E) perspective across the 5G domain and its sub-domains. These subdomains are the RAN (radio access network), the 5G Core infrastructure, the applications and functions residing in the RAN and Core, and the E2E services that span across the network, which includes the CPE (customer premises equipment) devices.
