Case Study: a global communication, information and entertainment solutions company achieves 24/7 global GPON testing with Spirent Automation Solutions

Global Communication Information and Entertainment Solutions Company - Customer Case Study

Spirent Communications helped a global communication, information, and entertainment solutions company overcome the challenge of standardizing its testing processes across multiple international labs. The customer, a service provider with over 300 million customers, needed to accelerate its GPON, Wi-Fi, and CPE testing to maintain a competitive edge but was hampered by disparate regional practices, legacy equipment, and new budget constraints, requiring a consolidated and automated testing strategy.

Spirent implemented its iTest and Velocity automation and orchestration software to create a unified, global test lab. This solution integrated both new and legacy gear, enabling remote access, centralized scheduling, and 24/7 automation. The results included a 320% increase in test hours per week, a 67% improvement in resource utilization from consolidating three labs into one, and significant cost savings through the reuse of existing test equipment, leading to a successful first phase and plans for further expansion with Spirent.
