Core Network Testing for 4G and 5G

5G Tower

Validate Every Generation of Mobile Core

Mobile networks are evolving from legacy 4G cores through non-standalone 5G to fully cloud-native architectures. Each stage introduces new network functions, interfaces, and service models that must get validated before deployment. Explore how Keysight’s Landslide platform family enables high-scale device and network function emulation across control and data planes — from isolated node benchmarking to full end-to-end service chain validation.
