Spirent conducted a study on mobile video streaming across different carriers, devices and services in two US cities. The results showed that having the latest smartphone, the most popular streaming service and excellent network coverage doesn't always equate to high quality. This infographic reveals some of what we found, a look at what motivates consumers to look elsewhere, and how Spirent can help you to keep your customers happy.

Leading carriers are beginning to rollout massive 5G deployments, but the associated CapEx and OpEx costs for RAN are huge due in part to necessary increases in the number of cell sites. Open RAN (O-RAN) attempts to solve this problem by disaggregating and splitting the RAN, supporting standardized open and interoperable interfaces, and allowing key functions to run as virtualized software functions on vendor-neutral hardware.

5G Security

In the larger sweep of the push to cloud-native Standalone 5G, operators are reconsidering the legacy, monolithic approach to building a radio access network (RAN). Based on technical specifications developed by the O-RAN Alliance, operators around the world, both greenfield and brownfield, are deploying Open RAN systems wherein hardware and software are decoupled, virtualized, and deployed in a cloud environment.

The importance of real-world testing for O-RAN components and systems

Real-world testing for O-RAN

This case study examines an engagement with a North American Tier-1 carrier that commissioned Spirent SecurityLabs to conduct penetration testing and a Host Security Review of their session border controller.

Spirent’s penetration tests conform with the recommendations in NIST 800-115 section 5. The process consists of multiple phases – planning, reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, post-exploitation, and reporting. 

Spirent’s team of experts identified numerous critical and high-severity issues in the deployed version of the SBC that posed a significant risk to the asset, its network, and other assets in conjunction with the business unit and organization, or its customers.

Open RAN has real momentum, buoyed by continued investment and early commercial contracts. But can it perform in live network deployments at scale? It is time to advance testing efforts beyond conformance and interoperability to find out. Emerging end-to-end performance tests are using real-world Open RAN models to benchmark Open RAN readiness.

An automation solution is an answer to a productivity challenge. At one extreme, companies like Amazon will produce a new release on average of every 16 seconds. At the other end of the spectrum, very conservative organizations will generate a publicly consumable release, or GA, every six months. But, the vast majority of organizations find themselves in between.

With the rapid rise of digital transformation (DX) disrupting business models to deliver better customer experience, Lab as a Service (LaaS) and DevOps adoption are becoming more and more common on today’s landscape to facilitate meeting that challenge. T

Elements of a Successful Lab Automation and DevOps Solution Adoption

Listen to our team of Open RAN experts to explore the latest techniques for assessing multi-vendor interoperability and performance for Open RAN technology. We discuss:

- The unique challenges O-RAN introduces to the market.  
- Why standards-based testing alone can’t answer the question of whether Open RAN will perform as expected when faced with the rigors of the real world.  
- The importance of accurately emulating real-world conditions during lab validation.  
- Recommended best practices for validating Open RAN.  
- Overview of key use cases and demos of the Spirent O-RAN Test Solution portfolio.

O-DU Testing

In an era of rising threats to GNSS—from jamming and spoofing to complex RF interference—Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas (CRPAs) have become essential tools in the pursuit of resilient PNT (Positioning, Navigation and Timing). Utilizing multiple antenna elements in concert, CRPAs and other array antennas are able to determine angle of arrival to focus antenna gain towards genuine satellite signals and steer nulls towards sources of interference, reducing the effectiveness of these increasingly-common attack vectors.

This on-demand webinar brings together international experts from Spirent, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Hexagon, and Thales Alenia Space to explore how CRPA technology is evolving—and how it's being tested, simulated, and deployed to meet today’s toughest challenges in GNSS resilience.

Explore how advanced testing and simulation are shaping the future of CRPA technology for GNSS resilience. Learn about anti-jam, anti-spoof capabilities, civil applications, and system-level validation in this expert-led on-demand webinar.

__Power Conservation: A Global Priority with a 5G Focus__

Global average energy prices have been on the rise for players in the telecom space, as they recognize at the same time the power-hungry nature of 5G environment requirements. The rise of AI exacts a powerful factor, where an AI search requires ten times the power consumption of a Google search. As well, enterprises outside the 5G domain face similar challenges. Tech leaders know this can no longer be seen as a sunk cost and that this trend is expected to only get worse if this is not addressed. Data points that highlight the growing need to reduce power consumption include:

This white paper provides an overview of global trends in power consumption, 5G test lab challenges for achieving sustainable power conservation, along with solutions to address that goal, which includes insight on proven strategies in lab optimization.

Webinars

As the 5G revolution unfolds, cloud-native network functions (CNFs) are leading the charge in transforming how modern networks operate. But what happens when these highly complex systems are designed with failure in mind? In our latest whitepaper, Is 5G the Harbinger of Cloud-Native Chaos?, we explore how CNFs are not only expected to fail but how they recover seamlessly to keep your network running smoothly.

With real-time traffic demands increasing, systems must be built to handle inevitable disruptions without sacrificing performance. If you're a network operator or service provider, this is your guide to understanding how you can maintain high service levels even when failures occur.
