Announcing Spirent Landslide 21.2 Release
Description
PRODUCT UPDATE
Landslide Release:
SMSF Testing
Like all previous generations of wireless networks, SMS continues to be a central functionality in 5G networks. In 5G, SMS can be delivered via IMS. Or it can be delivered over NAS via AMF. In the later case, SMSF is the primary network function responsible for this functionality. And SMSC is the other critical element that stores and forwards SMS messages. With 21.2, Landslide introduces extensive SMSF testing capabilities. SMSC emulation is a new license being introduced for this.
5G-RG emulation to test AGF is introduced. This is part of the Fixed Mobile Convergence story, as operators work to leverage 5G networks and unify their wireless and wireline services.
As with every release, several enhancements have been made to flagship applications such as AMF Nodal, AMF Node, various SBI Nodes and MME Nodal. These include the introduction of new procedures and enhancing key features such as AMF load balancing, iRAT mobility and VoLTE.
Usability enhancements continue with the addition of a new measurements tab, to display only KPIs with non-zero values.
One important point to note is that 21.2 will no longer support Ubuntu 14.04. It requires an upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 or preferably to Ubuntu 20.04.
