Finland :
NetHawk has received significant test system orders for LTE EPC (Long Term Evolution, Evolved Packet Core) testing from a major North American telecom infrastructure vendor.
The orders include the NetHawk EAST LTE Load Test Simulation platform for the S-GW (Serving Gateway) testing with multi-user functionality. The delivered system will be actively used by 25 simultaneous users with the future option to upgrade the system to 50 simultaneous users and beyond.
The flexible, multi-user functionality of the NetHawk EAST platform makes it easy to share the simulation platform across multiple users and across multiple testbeds bringing NetHawk’s customers significant savings. The ATCA (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture) blades and NPU (Network Processing Unit) processor units are providing the required capacity to cover the performance needs of multiple, simultaneous users.
“Continuous LTE orders in a highly competitive area like North America , where all our biggest competitors are headquartered, is proving our ultimate competitiveness with the EAST platform”, says Jari Sankala, Executive Vice President of Sales at NetHawk. “We are focusing on LTE and continuously developing new features and functionalities into our LTE testing solutions”.
