Overview
Service providers must scale the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) to meet the ever-evolving subscriber demands for faster speeds and higher throughput. Amantya’s Evolved Packet Core testing solution, supported by a robust test automation framework, revolutionizes how 4G network performance is validated and optimized. It is the go-to for EPC testing, offering efficient and reliable scalability to determine capacity limits. With stateful per UE emulation, we enable granular configuration for unique subscriber flows, swiftly identifying and isolating pain points.
End-to-End Packet Core Emulation
Amantya’s EPC emulator offers an advanced yet easy-to-use, low-cost alternative to replace real EPC elements in a test network. It also supports UE simulation and facilitates comprehensive testing of the entire LTE Packet Core or specific Core Network components like MME, SGW, or PGW. The emulator offers enhanced control for simulating real-world conditions within lab settings, serving as a valuable tool for assessing the functionality, scalability, and performance of the LTE Core Network before deployment.
