Case Study: a tier 1 5G mobile operator accelerates 5G deployment with Spirent Test as a Service

Tier 1 5G Mobile Operator - Customer Case Study

A tier 1 mobile operator transitioning to 5G sought to deploy a multi-vendor 5G core to accelerate new service innovation but lacked the in-house 5G expertise, automated testing tools, and CI/CD processes to validate cloud-native network functions (CNFs) rapidly and ensure vendor interoperability.

Spirent implemented its Test as a Service (TaaS) Managed Solution, which provided a turnkey CI/CD pipeline, integrated over 100 automated 5G test cases, and delivered the necessary expertise. This Spirent solution accelerated the operator’s 5G core deployment, enabled new 5G releases 3x faster than 4G, reduced the need for additional 5G resources, and avoided significant upfront capital expenditure.
