functions for current LTE and future 5G rollouts
Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT), a leading provider of
test, assurance, and analytics solutions for next-generation
devices and networks, today announced its extensive work with
Rakuten Mobile, Inc. in support of the operator’s current LTE
services, planned 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA)
rollout in Japan for its world-first fully virtualized cloud native
mobile network.
Rakuten Mobile required groundbreaking testing capabilities to
assure the performance of new services and selected Spirent
Landslide for core network testing. With LTE services now live and
deployment of its 5G NSA network planned for later in the year,
Spirent will work with Rakuten Mobile to ensure a solid customer
experience.
“We are excited to collaborate with Spirent for core network
testing,” said Tareq Amin, representative director, executive vice
president and CTO of Rakuten Mobile. “Given their extensive
in-region and global MNO/MVNO experience, advanced methodologies
for testing fully-virtualized networks and ability to serve in a
consultative role, we are confident that our collaboration will
allow us to offer innovative and exciting next generation mobile
services to Rakuten Mobile customers.”
Spirent’s work with Rakuten Mobile has been defined by the use
of advanced automation processes that expedite testing, including
for complex 5G NSA and SA testing scenarios.
“Rakuten Mobile are market trendsetters and Spirent is proud to
leverage our depth of experience and advanced testing solutions
portfolio to ensure Japan’s newest operator can focus on achieving
its vision for offering comprehensive communications services that
combine a simple service plan and cutting-edge technologies,” said
Spirent’s country manager for Japan, Akihiro Nakamura. “We look
forward to working alongside the company as subscribers take
advantage of its new services and new deployment targets are
set.”
As new services are tested for deployment to subscribers,
Rakuten Mobile is also using the Spirent iTest network automation
and verification solution for regression testing to speed
validation timeframes, allowing Rakuten Mobile’s engineering teams
to remain focused on new service creation for subscribers.
“Spirent has played an integral role in our network test
planning, validation and deployment,” said Mitsuhiro Kuchitsu,
section manager of Rakuten’s Network Division Innovation Lab.
“Having a strong partner we can trust to support our visionary
efforts remains an invaluable asset as we move forward on 5G
testing using Landslide.”
In Japan, Spirent’s efforts are enhanced via the company’s
long-term partner, Toyo Corporation, which provides additional
valuable technical support services.
