5G Basics: Non-Standalone vs Standalone (NSA vs SA)
5G is the fifth generation of mobile communication technology; revolutionary with an achievable downlink speed of 1000Mbps under ideal conditions. The deployment of 5G is consequential, but complicated with one contributing factor to the complexity being the two difference 5G network modes.
5G Fronthaul Network Testing Considerations
5G networks offer lower latency, greater flexibility, and increased bandwidth compared to 4G technology. To deliver these improvements, 5G fronthaul networks use different hardware and networking protocols to those found in previous generation networks.
Valkyrie - Xena Networks
Valkyrie is a full-featured Layer 2-3 stateless traffic generator and analysis platform. It is used to configure and generate Ethernet traffic up at all speeds up to 400GE, and analyze how network devices and services perform in response, making it perfect for most lab-based data-plane test scenarios.
Chimera - Xena Networks
Chimera is an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for emulating impairments (e.g. packet manipulation, latency, jitter, bandwidth control and shaping) to traffic between DUTs in the lab. It the industry's only fully integrated traffic generation and impairment solution.
