One of the biggest challenges facing NEMs and mobile operators as they launch 5G is developing products against constantly changing and maturing 3GPP specs.
The VIAVI TeraVM Core Emulator adds to the capabilities of industry-standard TM500 test mobile to provide a full wrap-around test of a 5G gNB for both non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) modes.
One of the biggest challenges facing NEMs and mobile operators as they launch 5G is developing products against constantly changing and maturing 3GPP specs.
TeraVM Core Emulator can remove the pain of Core Network dependencies by giving RAN engineers a controllable and repeatable test environment that helps implement 3GPP standards rapidly and simplify the development lifecycle of 5G gNBs and the introduction of 5G services to the market.

Key Features:
TeraVM is an application emulation and security performance solution, delivering comprehensive test coverage for application services, wired and wireless networks.
TeraVM is offered as a virtualized solution enabling the flexibility to run anywhere - lab, datacentre and the cloud, with consistent performance coverage, ensuring that highly optimized networks and services can be delivered with minimal risk.
TeraVM enables customers to:
Delivering a fully virtualized application and security validation solution to test and secure devices, networks and their services
With almost daily reports of security breaches and a large number of firms reporting the detection of an attempted attack on their organisation’s IT systems, never before has it been so critical as to identify where potential security vulnerabilities exist.
Security and attack types take on many guises from bot-attacks to employee credential theft and impersonation on the network.
Many online reports today typically highlight breaches in the form of:
Knowing where potential vulnerabilities exist is key to enabling greater and more robust security. The challenge for many is the need to validate the reliability of secure access technologies, BYOD device policies and to continually monitor security perimeter performance.
TeraVM is an application and security performance validation solution providing comprehensive coverage for assessment of:
The founding principle of TeraVM is it’s a software only solution. TeraVM enables an elastic test bed which can be used to deliver software defined testing with reliable and repeatable results. TeraVM is agnostic to the hypervisors/hardware platforms on which the public clouds such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or indeed private cloud platforms of OpenStack or OpenMano are built upon.
As IP networks and services transition from fixed physical appliances to virtualized solutions and into cloud platforms, never before has it being so important to deliver the five 9s of reliability.
It’s expected over the coming years that more carriers will migrate to virtualized solutions running on standard server hardware, enabling carriers gain more control over the services they can deploy and reduce the annual spend on capital programmes.
The core enablers for virtualization are occurring at a number of unique levels:
Portable validation, run anywhere performance testing with TeraVM
Validation is a critical component in enabling successful consumer services over the widest range and combination of hardware, virtualized layers and cloud platforms. As service providers look to deliver new services as NFV service chains, which will scale on demand to meet peak network or busy hour needs, will require a rugged validation solution, one which is portable, scalable and delivers run anywhere testing capability.
