VisionWorks

Learn how VisionWorks could benefit your business.

Spirent VisionWorks is an automated, end-to-end service assurance solution that adds active testing as a complement to passive network monitoring. It provides end-to-end network visibility, proactive analytics, and automated troubleshooting that enables service providers to accelerate time-to-market, optimize user experience, and reduce operational costs by ensuring reliable performance and meeting service level agreements (SLAs).

Architecture

Comprehensive Service Assurance that Builds upon Passive Monitoring Solutions

Everything about 5G networks is bigger. For 4G, a large national provider might have a network topology with ten physical data centers. Mobile core functions deployed at these locations represent the edge of the mobile network – the point at which core networks interface with radio networks via IP aggregation and backhaul networks. While expensive, for 4G, a service provider could deploy service assurance probes at each of these locations to effectively monitor all user traffic and signaling. 

5G changes everything for network service assurance. Read Spirent’s eBook to gain a better understanding of 5G challenges and the many ways active assurance fills in the gaps left by traditional assurance methods.
