The 5G Era is creating new business models, growth opportunities and competitive advantage. For businesses, there are many examples of opportunities with 5G. Whether it is more intelligent automation and more deeply integrated supply chains, the realization of autonomous vehicles, smarter power grids, or the creation of more innovative customer experiences, 5G’s speed, low latency, and pervasive connectivity is becoming a game-changer.
With these new technologies comes a more complex infrastructure leveraging hardware and software, with regular upgrades. This complexity makes safely and efficiently managing and updating the network more difficult. How do you verify security tools are working as expected, or how a new vendor’s capabilities will function without negatively impacting the live network?
Digital twins have been growing in use across industries. By creating a highly realistic representation of real-world conditions, businesses can perform emulation, integration, testing, monitoring and maintenance before going live in production. In telecom, digital twins are full-state machines, often of a multi-node multi-protocol network environment, and can accommodate call flow variations as a real network would. It can also use relevant real-time data to adjust the call flow and continue to have it match the real-world network. This contrasts with simulators, which typically represent a single network node and are static in their behavior.
Valid8’s digital twin capabilities help companies looking to drive efficiency with their test tools. With Valid8, it’s easier than attempting to develop emulators internally.
With Valid8, businesses can realize faster time to value with new upgrades and equipment and helps companies test their tools efficiently.
