5G Standalone Virtual Labs

Explore, Test, Optimise and Troubleshoot the 5G System

Deep dive into the key signalling scenarios in the 5G system, analyse the output (via Wireshark pcap files) to build a deeper understanding that goes beyond the theoretical and allows users to apply knowledge to a real-world 5G network.

The cloud-based lab provides participants with access to a fully emulated 5G System environment. Experiment with the configurations for various Network Functions within the 5G Core Network and build customized settings for signalling scenarios that will enable users to develop greater insight in to the operation of the 5G System.

5G Standalone - Core Network Protocols and Procedures (2-Day Workshop)

Deep dive into 5G Standalone Core Network Protocols and Procedures with this lab workshop. The lab workshop includes a mix of theory and hands-on exercises and includes a detailed guide covering exercises on various protocols and signalling scenarios in the 5G System.

The focus of he lab is the 5G Core Network with extensive coverage of the Service Based Architecture and HTTPv2 including JSON. Furthermore all protocols around the 5G Core Network are examined (PFCP, NGAP and 5G NAS). Learn more

Focused Half-Day Labs

Through a combination of hands-on experience and guided instruction each half-day virtual lab workshop allow users to build a deep understanding of the 5G System, its protocols and signalling scenarios. The emulator allows participants to test a 5G System, understand how the signalling flows are standardized in a safe simulated environment. The following labs are available:
