TeraVM Core Emulator

TeraVM Core Emulator can remove the pain of 5G 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.

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. Find out more

TeraVM Core Test

TeraVM 5G Core Test provides fully configurable emulation of thousands of base stations, millions of UE's and user applications to create the most realistic 5G  RAN environment to stress the core. Full support for 3GPP interfaces such as N1, N2, N3 and N6 enables the tester to accurately emulate UE applications and mobility behaviour for inter-5G and inter-RAT scenarios.  Find out more

TeraVM O-CU Tester/DU Simulator

The O-RAN ALLIANCE is promoting the disaggregation of the gNB into three distinct, open and standardized elements. The TeraVM O-CU Tester provides a comprehensive validation test suite for the O-CU element of the disaggregated gNB. Find out more.

Post Quantum Cryptography

The implementation of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) protocols introduces additional network performance overhead, impacting end-user experience. Testing is essential for developing and deploying cryptographic systems, including PQC-based ones. Post-Quantum Cryptography aims to create secure algorithms against quantum computer threats. Testing assists in several key areas for Post-Quantum Cryptography:

Security Assurance

Algorithm Resistance Testing verifies PQC algorithms' resistance against cryptographic attacks. This includes testing the algorithms under different scenarios, including those that utilize classical and quantum algorithms, to evaluate their resilience.

Performance Evaluation

Computational Efficiency: Testing evaluates PQC algorithms' computational efficiency. This includes measuring encryption/decryption speed, key generation speed, and overall system performance. Ensuring the efficiency of PQC algorithms is crucial for widespread adoption in practical applications.

Interoperability Testing

Integration with Existing Systems: Cryptographic systems often require interaction with established infrastructure and protocols. Testing is essential to guarantee the seamless integration of PQC algorithms into diverse systems, avoiding compatibility issues.

Standardization Compliance

Adherence to Standards: testing confirms PQC algorithms' compliance with established cryptographic standards, promoting interoperability and consistent implementation across platforms.
