The new TeraVM virtual Radio Access Network (vRAN) CIoT module can emulate over 16 million IoT devices via narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and CAT-M connections in a fully virtualized environment. The new testing capabilities, says the company, lets operators, vendors, and service providers test and future-proof their networks for the development and commercialization of the Internet of Things (IoT).
It enables users to test the ability of their networks to support the huge array of current and potential connected IoT end-points, the company says, while delivering consistent, reliable connectivity for traditional mobile voice and data services. The module forms part of the company's 3GPP-compliant RANtoCore end-to-end test platform, which validates networking performance from the radio access network (RAN) to the core via the mobile edge.
