Landslide核心网测试

As 5G networks grow in scale and complexity, service providers face increasing pressure to deliver reliability, flexibility, and performance in the face of constant change. In this on-demand webinar, Gabriel Brown, Senior Principal Analyst at Heavy Reading, and Bill Clark, Principal Product Manager, for 5G cloud native deployment validation at Spirent, unpack what it truly means to build a resilient 5G infrastructure in the era of cloud-native network functions (CNFs). The discussion explores how CNFs—built on microservices, containerization, and Kubernetes-based orchestration—are redefining resilience. Rather than trying to eliminate every possible failure, today’s networks are designed to expect them. The focus has shifted toward rapid recovery, self-healing behaviors, and intelligent automation that ensures services like autonomous vehicles, industrial IoT, and low-latency applications continue to run without disruption—even under pressure.

随着运营商加速向云原生架构的转变，5G部署的复杂性也呈指数级增长。在这场由RCR Wireless编辑深入探讨的网络研讨会上，思博伦与业界领导者共同探讨了向云原生架构过渡所带来的机遇和挑战。他们阐明了电信公司目前面临的最重要的转型之一。本讲座重点关注云原生之旅，其中包含了对现实世界的洞察、实际考虑因素，以及从验证整个行业云原生5G部署的丰富经验中汲取的教训。 会议探讨了从传统物理基础设施到虚拟化网络功能，再到现在的完全云原生网络功能（CNF）的演变过程。它解读了云原生环境的核心组件，包括 Kubernetes 编排、容器化和基于服务的架构，并解释了为什么这些元素对于实现下一代网络的可扩展性、敏捷性和弹性至关重要。

The Lab-to-Live white paper, produced in partnership with Appledore Research, explores the critical shift required for modern networks to adopt a seamless testing and deployment approach. As cloud-native networks become central to enabling scalable, resilient, and agile infrastructure, traditional testing methods can no longer keep up. Lab-to-Live is a holistic strategy that integrates lab testing, network deployment, and operational monitoring into a unified lifecycle, fostering continuous improvement and stronger collaboration across development and operations. __Key takeaways__ from this research emphasize the importance of agile testing environments and proactive monitoring for cloud-native network resilience. With networks increasingly defined by software-driven applications, ensuring reliability involves rapid fault recovery and a shift from hardware-based resilience to software-based fault tolerance. This approach leverages continuous testing and visibility across all network components to proactively address failures, optimize resource usage, and support multi-vendor environments.

As 5G technology continues to evolve, the challenge of ensuring that cloud-native network functions (CNFs) operate reliably in distributed environments becomes increasingly critical. With the complex architecture of 5G standalone networks, it’s essential to anticipate failures before they occur—and recover automatically without disrupting service. Kubernetes auto-healing capabilities provide a path forward, but CNFs themselves are designed to fail, making the resiliency of your network more important than ever. In our whitepaper, __How 5G CNFs Are Designed to Fail__, we explore the core concepts behind building resilient 5G CNFs within Kubernetes environments. Learn how to prepare for inevitable system failures and maintain service continuity even in the most challenging real-world scenarios.

Service providers expect 5G to help power critical business transformation by diversifying and growing revenue streams. The right strategy will support rollout of new services in weeks versus months, with always-on, high-performance, and expansive coverage attracting and delighting customers.

我们已经进入了5G的时代，以及5G带来的闪电般的速度、惊人的覆盖密度、巨大的区域流量容量，以及超低的时延。5G已经不仅仅是4G的速度升级，而是一次激进的飞跃，不仅急剧提升了各类移动宽带服务，还通过实现全球数十亿设备的互连而实现了真正意义上的物联网（IoT）。 在迈向5G的过程中，多数运营商采用的都是一种演进式的方法，即首先使用4G演进分组核心网（EPC）控制/用户层分离（CUPS），之后才迁移到5G非独立组网（NSA），并最终部署完整的原生5G或采用Open RAN。要想保障从4G到原生5G的成功旅程，我们需要的是适用于该旅程中每一个阶段和服务生命周期中每一个阶段的测试和保障能力。 思博伦的解决方案可以在整个服务生命周期中为您的5G演进之旅提供测试和保障，即从实验室以生产网络的全过程。欢迎下载我们的描述各项5G网络功能的海报，快速了解5G网络的整体结构和各项相关的服务。

With demand for 5G growing across South Korea, operators are moving quickly to augment their non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) capabilities. But ensuring reliability, maximum availability, and high-performance connectivity amplifies the need for rigorous testing before deploying new systems. To enable a more versatile, competitive 5G network, a leading Korean wireless operator sought to expand its network infrastructure. A global communication technology provider was positioned to deliver a 5G NSA platform as a Proof of Concept (PoC), which, if successful, would lead to both NSA and SA implementations. However, testing of the NSA system proved challenging using the operator’s existing test suite. Spirent partner ERK Solution Co. teamed with the technology provider to define and deliver a solution that could meet the operator’s stringent performance demands.
