Pod 2: 5G Device Application Test

Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A
Signalling Tester (Base Station Simulator) MD8475B

Anritsu provides SmartStudio NR for functional, application and regression testing for commercial release of 5G devices. SmartStudio NR is based on the MT8000A network simulator hardware. The interactive state-machine based GUI enables IMS/SMS testing and Internet connection to be easily performed without the need for scenario development. In addition, by switching from SmartStudio NR to other control software, a single MT8000A can be used for protocol testing and RF measurement applications. All control software supports Sub-6 GHz, mmW, NSA and SA.

Network Master Pro (Ethernet/CPRI/OTDR Test Equipment) MT1000A

New industry verticals will be a key part of 5G future growth, with many new markets and applications being addressed by Release 16 features. Anritsu’s MT8000A network simulator test bed provides a platform to evaluate device and application performance (e.g. throughput, latency, signaling) using MEC, URLLC, 5G RAN with Network Slicing emulation and flexible user configurations. The Anritsu Network Master™ Pro MT1000A is another measurement solution for 5G field testing of timing/latency and PTP which is critical in some URLLC use cases.

Pod 4: Smarter Operations

Smarter Operations with Augmented Analytics

With the arrival of 5G networks, Anritsu sees increasing complexity in Operations with network slicing, IOT and private networks. Augmented analytics is required to achieve smarter operations. Smart closed-loop automation reduces the troubleshooting burden on Operations teams freeing resources to address higher order issues.
Anritsu’s solution portfolio, which includes eoMind, delivers augmented analytics and machine learning anomaly detection. Using this approach Anritsu finds problems on the network that traditional tools can’t find and it does it in real time. Cases are raised and priority is based on the impact to subscribers, VIPs, and Corporates. Next best actions are enriched with likely root causes transforming complex troubleshooting investigations to closed cases.
Anritsu uses artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, natural language processing and real-time streaming analytics to deliver award-winning, market-changing insights and closed-loop actions that impact customer satisfaction and reduces MTTR for smarter operations.

Pod 5: 5G Automated Assurance

5G Automated Assurance

Network Slicing on 5G networks represents a huge shift in how Operators can offer and monetize services for customers. When offering premium levels of service on dedicated logically-separated networks it is even more important to automate assurance for network slices, to highlight in real time issues and anomalies, and to take automated smart closed-loop decisions.
5G will allow Operators to offer tailored networks customized for specific applications like autonomous cars, VR/AR and smart city initiatives. M2M/IOT and Industry 4.0 will bring orders more devices onto the networks, bringing new patterns of use, new scalability issues and new fraud opportunities.
Anritsu is 5G-ready for both SA and NSA meaning Operators can assure all slices, all industry vertical and scales up for massive device density. Enterprise customers can plan their business supported by deterministic SLAs while Operators can assure those services, having a view of each slice and all slices to optimize their network resources.
Anritsu’s NFV closed-loop automation enables virtualized infrastructures adjust automatically to dynamic network conditions and triggers actions to reduce troubleshooting costs and time. Increasing complexity in networks should not hinder Operators in offering exciting new slices of services to their customers.priority is based on the impact to subscribers, VIPs, and Corporates. Next best actions are enriched with likely root causes transforming complex troubleshooting investigations to closed cases.
