End-to-end simulation of a 5G Network  

The NetTest 5G Network Emulator solution from Polaris Networks simulates all the elements of a 5G network, namely: 5G devices (UE), 5G base stations (gNB) and 5G Core (AMF, AUSF, NSSF, UDM, UDR, SMF, UPF and PCF). The protocol functions and interfaces of the NetTest 5G Network Emulators are implemented based on 3GPP specifications that allow users to simulate various network operations and procedures in the lab.

A standards based implementation allows users to replace an emulated network element with a production network element to create varied network topologies depending on the use and purpose. Other than standard operations and procedures, the 5G Network Emulators provides the ability to simulate negative and abnormal network behavior.

The NetTest 5G Network Emulators are ideal for:

  • Research and study purposes: By simulating an end-to-end 5G network, the NetTest 5G Network Emulators facilitate academic and business researchers to study the behavior of 5G networks under different conditions and for various normal and abnormal network operations.
  • Functional and performance testing of 5G gNB and 5G core: Support for standards-defined interfaces allow users to choose elements to be simulated from the NetTest 5G Core Network Emulators (test tool) and connect it to the 5G network element to be tested (system under test). Such test setups can then be used to test functions and performance of the 5G network element under test.


Examples of test setups using NetTest 5G Network Emulators are:
