Versatile Test & Measurement Probe For 5G/4G/3G Cellular Mobile Core Network

Valid8's Core Network Testing Solutions offer test operators a user friendly, comprehensive platform to test core network components for functional, conformance, security and performance.

The flexibility of Valid8’s cellular network emulation simplifies and streamlines the testing process, saving time and money, while allowing for a broader range of tests without incurring the high costs of cellular network time.

  • Deterministic, repeatable network conditions
  • Configurable test scenarios – e.g. erroneous call flows
  • Emulate specific PLMNs & multiple cells
  • Automating testing throughout the product lifecycle
  • Measurements—grades the behavior, similar to a medical report; not just PASS/FAIL but how well it performed
  • Suggestions engine including ML to make results actionable
