Network Infrastructure as a Service provides AI opportunities for telecom providers to build AI-capable infrastructure leveraging their investments in 5G, fiber, and edge computing, and deliver multitenant, scalable, and secure networking and hosting solutions. The race to trial, invest in, and deploy AI-powered solutions is on, upending market dynamics across a range of sectors. Worldwide […]
Standards are now in place to bring low earth orbit (LEO) satellites into the 5G cellular network. The business dynamics of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are challenging, leaving the question of how to commercialize LEO satellites as part of 5G and how to assure comprehensive validation of these offerings. Optimism around the potential to capitalize on […]
ChatGPT represents the tip of an iceberg for AI performance, scalability, and security challenges accompanying the next wave of internet experiences. For AI to be successful, best practices to assure AI use cases must be in place from the beginning, including an advanced testing strategy. OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT in November swept the web by […]
New risks are on the rise for telecom networks, Having the right security solution in place as early in the development phase as possible is required. The proactive security strategies should include a focus on the role of DevSecOps, Zero Trust, and AI/ML to address the fast-approaching challenges of the near future. Telco networks are […]
Secure Access Secure Edge (SASE) and Zero Trust (ZT) represent a critical evolutionary step for ensuring holistic SD-WAN security in the post-Covid multi-cloud environment – ‘Secure SD-WAN.’ Learn why a comprehensive test and validation strategy is essential to ensure Secure SD-WAN’s promise of being the ‘on-ramp of choice to the cloud’ for a growing number […]
Satellite broadband products and services are expected to generate over $200 billion in annual service revenue by 2030, serving more than 350 million direct satellite-to-device subscribers. New Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems will provide connectivity where none exists, supporting the underserved and remote use cases. This brings new challenges of complexity that must be […]
By combining SASE and Zero Trust, you can consistently apply and enforce security performance policies across your entire network—and give consumers the security and performance they expect. Gartner coined the term “SASE” (Secure Access Service Edge) less than two years ago, before anyone had heard of “COVID-19.” At that time, Gartner described SASE as a […]
While it’s clear that independent testing doesn’t always mean clear and fair results, there’s growing support around the NetSecOPEN security testing model. There is a lot at stake in the performance and security of network devices, and that is why testing has been always been carried out by independent, third-party organizations. But as we’ve all seen, […]
A quick look at 5G massive MIMO, why it’s so complicated and how we can help to simplify testing it. As the communications industry gets closer to demystifying the needs and requirements of implementing new 5G network technologies, there’s lots of opinions on what the standards should include and what direction the industry should take. […]
CTIA MIMO OTA test plan v1.0 and the Laboratory Assessment & Validations Requirements (AVRD) document are released, so now is the time for next steps With the CTIA MIMO OTA test plan v1.0 released in July 2015, and the corresponding Laboratory Assessment and Validations Requirements (AVRD) document released shortly after, it is time to proceed […]
