Spirent Landslide 5G Test Platform Powers Korean Operator’s NSA/SA Expansion

With demand for 5G growing across South Korea, operators are moving quickly to augment their non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) capabilities. But ensuring reliability, maximum availability, and high-performance connectivity amplifies the need for rigorous testing before deploying new systems. To enable a more versatile, competitive 5G network, a leading Korean wireless operator sought to expand its network infrastructure. A global communication technology provider was positioned to deliver a 5G NSA platform as a Proof of Concept (PoC), which, if successful, would lead to both NSA and SA implementations. However, testing of the NSA system proved challenging using the operator’s existing test suite. Spirent partner ERK Solution Co. teamed with the technology provider to define and deliver a solution that could meet the operator’s stringent performance demands.
