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.
