    Spirent Teams With Brocade to Showcase

     

    3GPP Compliant NB-IoT Solutions

     

     

    Spirent思博倫通信公司目前已經成功的與Brocade博科公司完成聯合測試,展示符合3GPP標準的NB-IoT解決方案。這項聯合測試使用了Brocade vC-SGN解決方案和Spirent的Landslide。 Brocade vC-SGN方案具備對S1-AP接口的3GPP NB-IoT的增強; 而Spirent Landslide則模擬了NB-IoT設備,LTE基站以及EPC功能。這項測試展示了符合3GPP NB-IoT的標準,支持從高達50,000個LTE基站(eNB)的物聯網設備連接的能力, 以及vC-SGN對於不同負載的自動調整。

     

    Spirent Communications, a leading provider of lifecycle service assurance solutions, has successfully completed joint tests with Brocade to showcase 3GPP-compliant NB-IoT solutions. The joint tests utilized the Brocade vC-SGN solution, with 3GPP NB-IoT enhancements to the S1-AP interface, and Spirent Landslide, which emulates NB-IoT devices, LTE base stations and Evolved Packet Core (EPC) functions. The tests demonstrated compliance to 3GPP NB-IoT standards, the ability to support IoT device connections from up to 50,000 LTE base stations (eNBs) and automatic scaling of the vC-SGN for variable loads.

     

    Spirent Landslide enables network equipment providers (NEPs) and service providers (SPs) to validate the functionality and performance of mobile networks and services across the lifecycle phases of development, deployment and operations. With newly released IoT test features, Spirent Landslide enables NEP development teams to ensure network functions are ready for the scale and wide range of QoS capabilities required by IoT. SPs can also use the solution to validate services across multiple network slices using the 3GPP DECOR feature. Landslide may be deployed as a virtual test agent (VTA) as part of Spirent VisionWorks active assurance solutions. Leveraging the Landslide VTA, Spirent VisionWorks solutions enable SP deployment and operations teams to automate turn-up verification and SLA monitoring of new IoT services and enabling network functions.

     

    The Brocade vC-SGN solution is built on top of the Brocade Virtual Core for Mobile software, which is designed to transform mobile networks by providing operators with the flexibility to scale the control plane, user plane, and session plane independently. This architecture is tailor-made for implementation of control-plane-centric network functions, such as a C-SGN, and can easily scale to accommodate the high growth in IoT devices that is anticipated by the industry.

     

    "Spirent has worked closely with Brocade to push the boundaries of cutting-edge technologies, demonstrating the performance and scalability of these new technologies at an early stage," said Nishi Kant, Vice President of Mobile Networking at Brocade. "Our collaboration around NB-IoT showcases the scalability of our 3GPP-compliant NB-IoT network functions and our commitment to promoting an open ecosystem."

     

    "For the NB-IoT open ecosystem to thrive, it needs a coherent set of testing and assurance capabilities that span the IoT lifecycle from development to operations," said Dave Stehlin, general manager of the Lifecycle Service Assurance business segment at Spirent. "Our collaboration with Brocade demonstrates Landslide's ability to evaluate the latest 3GPP-compliant NB-IoT network functions. As part of our VisionWorks suite, Landslide's advanced emulation and test capabilities may also be extended to deployment and operations use cases."
