Keysight’s 5G Test Platforms Selected by Mavenir to Accelerate Software Development

Keysight Technologies and Mavenir, an end-to-end cloud-native network software provider for 4G/5G networks, announced that Mavenir has selected Keysight's 5G user equipment emulation (UEE) solutions to accelerate the development of software for 5G radio access network (RAN) and 5G core (5GC) platforms. The mobile industry is transitioning towards virtualized RAN (vRAN) architectures in order to flexibly and cost-effectively address demands driven by both consumers and vertical industries.

According to Giampaolo Tardioli, vice president and general manager of Keysight's network access test group, "Keysight's 5G UEE platforms enable Mavenir to validate the end-to-end performance of cloud-native RAN and 5GC software solutions, critical in the delivery of agile solutions that support more than twenty-five communications service providers (CSPs) committed to deploying O-RAN compliant networks."

Mavenir uses Keysight's automated and scalable 5G UEE solutions to emulate a massive number of subscribers and numerous use-scenarios. These solutions support conformance validation of O-RAN distributed units (O-DU) and radio units (O-RU), ensuring that 5G network elements comply to the latest specifications set by both 3GPP and O-RAN standards organizations. Keysight's UEE solutions deliver real-world scenarios for protocol and load testing with integrated sophisticated channel emulation capabilities that allow users to verify the performance of a RAN deployed in a complex radio environment.
