Emblasoft is delighted to announce the launch of new enhancements to Evolver, which brings multiple enhancements to support all of your legacy and 5G test and validation requirements.

Emblasoft is pleased to announce the latest enhancements to Evolver, which brings multiple improvements, while adding new functionality. It enhances Evolver’s position as one of the most comprehensive and advanced test and active monitoring platforms available for mobile and fixed networks. The release highlights Emblasoft’s on-going investment to add market-driven and customer-inspired innovations, providing a future-proof pathway for your evolving test requirements and an ideal replacement for legacy solutions that have reached EoL.

High-performance testing with Emblasoft Evolver

Just some of the upgrades include boosting the already class-leading performance testing capabilities — Evolver can now emulate more than 1 million RTP streams and simulate over 5 million stateful active users — and enables automation via an even more intuitive web interface.

Evolver can verify every stream for delay, jitter, dropped packets, and more, for over 1 million RTP users, including media over TDM (E1, T1, STM-3, OC-3, and so on), as well as speech quality and QoE via PESQ or POLQA. Test cases include:

• SBC throughput and load
• VoLTE/VoNR/VoWiFi subscriber emulation
• VoIP subscriber emulation
• SIP Trunks
• MGRF
• SIP-ISUP MGW
• Transcoding

The new enhancements also include even more capacity for high performance testing, with the ability to emulate over 5 million stateful UEs. It means that Evolver can emulate a huge volume of realistic sessions, with multiple PDU sessions per subscriber for both LTE and 5G at the same time. It minimises the complexity for each focus area for emulating real-life UE behaviour. For example, it can emulate VoLTE/LTE Users in Attached and Registered State ready for:

• Data Test
• Voice Test
• SMS Test

Automated and scheduled emulation for millions of realistic sessions

With the new enhancements, Evolver provides an even more accurate picture of the overall session and context, as it tests how an action may lead to any other event to emulate real-world sessions at large volumes.

In addition, our intuitive, user-friendly interface for running and automating tests quickly and easily has been simplified even further to provide an enhanced user experience. Users can select multiple tests and run them in series or parallel.

Tests can be scheduled, run at selected intervals, or ad hoc. All tests can be automated, covering mixes of subscribers that reflect the real situation in your network. For example:

• LTE/VoLTE/VoWiFi subscribers
• 5G/VoNR/VoWiFi Subscribers
• VoIP Subscribers
• ISUP Subscribers

This means that emulated subscribers can come from a 5G network, a 4G network, a legacy ISUP (3G) network – pre-IMS, or even just a VoIP network (SIP), or any combination of them.

Evolver provides exceptional versatility and is the answer to the retirement of other popular solutions

This highlights the exceptional versatility of Evolver, while positioning it as a replacement for NetScout’s discontinued Spectra 2 test solution (see blog here), EXFO’s QA-805 test and validation solution, and others.

Evolver supports legacy protocols, such as SS7 MAP and Diameter, as well as SIP for voice and video. For a full list of protocols and interfaces Evolver supports, click here. It means that Evolver supports testing and assurance for legacy protocols and interfaces, as well as the latest 5G Standalone networks, reflecting the true state of most operators’ networks. It makes it a comprehensive, one-stop-shop for all your test and assurance needs.

Evolver is the answer to all of your test, validation, and active monitoring requirements. It provides a single platform for testing legacy and 5G networks, while ensuring that KPIs and SLAs are maintained on an on-going basis. Tests can be automated, scheduled, and Evolver supports the key protocols and interfaces in your network, giving you the ability to realistically emulate millions of UEs, while providing accurate, in-depth insights into every aspect of your network and services.
