Spirent HyperMetrics mX modules

The Spirent HyperMetrics mX modules address 4G network challenges of mobility, application performance, interoperability and mobile backhaul.

Although converged mobile networks simplify the physical network topology, they also introduce a high level of complexity in network design and deployment. To manage mobility and bandwidth and to monetise services, the converged network must support ‘Any G’ mobility, quality of service (QoS) and deep packet inspection (DPI). The mX modules simplify and accelerate high-scale mobility, core network, mobile backhaul, routing, access and application testing.

A critical aspect of testing converged mobile networks is determining performance capabilities and limitations of network elements when millions of subscribers concurrently text, tweet, talk, browse or watch videos on their mobile devices. Testing with the modules ensures: mobility with high scalability of mobile data sessions, delivering high-performance multi-play applications with seamless mobility between 2G/3G and LTE networks; bandwidth management with emulation of millions of subscribers under real-world network conditions, including applications being delivered concurrently, such as QoE-aware live IP video streaming along with voice, web-based applications; network intelligence with the delivery of the mobile multiplay experience by combining high-performance stateful traffic, high-scale routing, access and mobile control plane on a single module.
