Mobile Network Lab
The NGNI Mobile Network Lab is a living implementation of the NGNI XG Testbeds development. It is designed to enable us and our partners to do innovative product prototyping, fast integration and testing including calibration, benchmarking and interoperability tests between new prototypes and products. Designed with more than the 5G network itself in mind, the lab offers a fully integrated environment from basic infrastructure like network switching up a multi-vendor RAN integration.
- The unique combination of FOKUS developed components with marked leading tooling from different vendors and projects enables a zero-preparation test environment where all KPIs are constantly monitored, stored and visualized.
- End-to-end-tests as well as single component evaluation are made easy and quick. Fast switching of components e. g. RAN, UPF, Core allows verification of interoperability in no time.
- From bare metal over solid virtualization environments to scalable cloud environments, every deployment flavour is available.
- Multi-tenant network and compute separation allows a quick and clean switch between projects and measurements.
- The lab extended from the main lab room, over our data center, our underground parking lot to metro cells on our roof to mimic different HF environments. The lab extends even further to an outdoor test site at an active air field close to Berlin for all the experiments that need more space than a traditional lab can offer.
