Mesh radios are typically used in mission critical communications and therefore it is imperative to secure a superior quality of service. Field testing is not always the best approach for several reasons, such as lack of repeatability, expense, scheduling, and the difficulty in creating extreme test conditions. Lab testing can compensate for this, but due to unique behavior, standard channel models are not sufficient to replicate the highly dynamic characteristics of mesh networks. For example, Doppler modeling and the impacts of bandwidth need to be revisited. Also, a test system must have very high capacity to support full mesh structures due to all the connected nodes in the network.



This whitepaper focuses on the unique characteristics of mission critical mesh networks, why a different approach is needed for testing, and the aspects of a test plan that can help to assure superior performance.

Part 3 of our 3-part series on **Best practices for delivering the promise of 5G**.

This third white paper in the Spirent 5G testing series explores how Service Assurance in the operational environments is an enabler for assuring 5G delivers the new revenues, new savings and experiences 5G promises.
