Network Labs as the perfect platform for 5G revolution
Our Labs as the perfect cornerstone to build an open and secure ecosystem to accelerate and facilitate 5G
across many industries & 3rd parties in different domains such as Interoperability, IoT, M2M, vertical application
and automotive, testing for security policies, device testing
Radio
Network
Operations &
Management
Leverage spectrum and
enable cost-efficient dense
deployments. Integrated
multiple deployments.
Shared use of
infrastructure.
Simplify Operations though
automation and monitoring.
Collaborative management and
cloud orchestration.
Minimise number of entities. No
mandatory U-plane functions.
Minimize legacy networking. Fixed
and mobile convergence.
Radio, Network and Operations & management as the
5G Design principles as depicted by the NGMN
Alliance. Our E2E environments are the perfect
platform to help Network Service Providers and multiple
industries to develop their products in a full end-to-end
mobile and fixed mesh.
