Plotting the performance landscape for 5G RAN Packet Networks

5G is now being deployed and will eventually be the default mobile infrastructure. While there are huge benefits associated with 5G, there are also major challenges involved in ensuring the transmission of time-sensitive traffic.

This White Paper examines how to map the performance landscape of 5G RANs using network impairment solutions to emulate real-world conditions in the lab to troubleshoot issues during and after deployment.
