5G SEPP Roaming
The Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP) is a key enabler for secure 5G roaming, protecting for inter-operator control plane signalling. Ensuring effective performance is essential
Full inter-operator roaming between 5G Standalone requires border protection for control plane signalling. The SEPP fulfils this role, performing filtering and authorisation checks on SBA traffic entering and leaving the network, providing access control for roaming traffic.
5G SEPP Roaming
Complete lifecycle testing and assurance for the SEPP with Evolver
Flexible, agile service validation and active monitoring
Evolver enables complete lifecycle testing and assurance for the SEPP function across N8, N12 and N27 interfaces. It enables service and performance validation in pre-production environments and in-service, active monitoring for continuous assurance. Emulate the complete 5G core, or individual nodes to evaluate specific interfaces – or perform wrap-around tests for end-to-end modelling.
Ensure the success of new full-5G roaming services with comprehensive assurance and agile automated testing as you build out new roaming agreements or interconnect with hubs. Follow dedicated test programmes or create specific roaming scenarios with flexible editing functions, ensuring that SEPP performance matches your requirements.
