For federal government and military, the promise of 5G has a high priority in resilient operations – especially in contested and congested environments. Learn how defense organizations can design and test 5G spectral agility across complex mesh networks and Open RAN solutions.

Network Digital Twin's testing capability across complex mesh networks and Open RAN solutions supports 5G’s capability in resilient operations for government defense organizations. 

Network Digital Twin & 5G Complexity

How a Network Digital Twin Can Manage 5G Complexity for Government

Federal government recognizes the vast potential of 5G to deliver superior mission outcomes. Realizing those outcomes is the challenge of 5G. How are defense and civilian organizations developing their core and edge network testing strategies for this game-changing technology?

Due to rigorous and demanding environments, defense organizations must develop their 5G network performance testing for core and edge networks.

In theory, Open RAN’s plug-and-play promise makes forging a path to this destination a no-brainer. In practice, getting there will take a considerable amount of work to guarantee the desired benefits will be there waiting.

For Open RAN’s plug-and-play promise to succeed, operators must embrace testing and validation methodologies.

Why was Open RAN created? The bulk of the costs (CapEx and OpEx) for operators lie within RAN, and 5G requires a massive increase in the number of cell sites and radio types, which drives RAN costs even higher. In recent years, the number of RAN vendors has declined, reducing competition in the market. 

Spirent's team of OPEN RAN experts share the challenges the industry faces to ensure this new technology delivers on its promise.

Open RAN - An Introduction

Service providers need to know whether Open RAN — from end to end — will perform as well as or better than a traditional, monolithic RAN and will units from different vendors interoperate at a physical level. Integrated end-to-end testing can help remove doubt.

Service providers need to know whether ORAN—from end to end—will perform as well as or better than a traditional, monolithic RAN and will units from different vendors interoperate at a physical level. Integrated end-to-end testing can help remove doubt.

Can End-to-End Testing Conquer Open RAN Concerns?
