Certifying 5G equipment vendors

Key takeaways

• EXFO’s virtualized, software-based solution was easy to deploy and enabled testing anywhere in their labs.
• Subjecting the network and devices under test to traffic generated as per CAICT’s specifications resulted in several issues being identified.
• Vendors then had a chance to address problem these issues before their equipment got deployed in live networks.
• Finding problem issues in a live network with real subscribers would have been extremely inconvenient to subscribers and damaging the reputation.
