Linkbit, Inc., announced today that F5 Networks selected Linkbit’s Test Solution to help ensure the quality of F5’s products for converging networks of 3G and LTE.
With the current buildup of 3G and LTE converging networks, there is an ongoing increase of network complexity. This puts pressure on the Operators, Network Equipment Manufacturers and Test Equipment Vendors to deliver solutions that can effectively perform in this new multi-network environment. Linkbit’s Simulation Studio and Legion Intelligent Core Tester are perfect solutions to test converging networks and their elements.
Linkbit Legion Intelligent Core Tester was selected by F5 for its fast and flexible scripting development and analysis capabilities, extensive test automation features, on-the-spot live network field problem simulation features, and excellent interoperability with F5 products. Linkbit offers complete coverage and support for LTE core DIAMETER and other 3G and LTE protocols and interfaces.
F5 has deployed the Linkbit Legion® testing tool in its R&D and QA departments.
About Linkbit:
Linkbit, Inc., is an innovative, market-driven designer, manufacturer, and supplier of advanced test instrumentation for the Global Communications Industry. Our products offer the unique capabilities to future-proof the test beds of our customers, helping them to develop and validate the performance of the modern converged intelligent networks and individual network elements. Since its establishment in 2000, more than 1000 Linkbit test systems and units have been deployed world-wide including tier 1 and tier 2 major network operators, equipment manufacturers and government agencies.
Linkbit Legion® test solution allows organizations to load test the performance of 3G/LTE network by offering a scalable execution engine for Linkbit Studio IDE—the most capable functional test platform available on the market today. It combines the ultimate functional testing capabilities with scalable load performance achievable under the modern, multi-core, multi-cpu server environment.
Linkbit Studio software IDE allows interactive building and executing any packet flow scenario for GSM MAP, DIAMETER LTE and other core network protocols in minutes. Linkbit software includes smart libraries for 3GPP and RFC specs, an interactive Packet Wizard editor allowing building any standard packet with any combination of mandatory and optional fields by point-and-clicks, XDL Editor—a graphical packet flow composer, and a variety of emulated transport stacks, such as SIGTRAN.
Linkbit Studio’s unique capability to import packet traces created with 3rd party tools (i.e. pcap), and the instant ability to edit and replay the imported packet flow makes it an unmatched tool for investigating, repeating and fixing complex problems detected during development and QA process in the lab and in the field. Linkbit extensive test automation tools and capabilities allow for easy integration in any existing testing infrastructure.
