Artiza Networks: An Efficient Ally for Telecommunications Companies

With Guglielmo Marconi’s first demonstration of long-distance radio transmission to help ships continuously communicate with the land, the world saw the beginning of the era of wireless communication. And today, the world is stepping into the fifth-generation (5G) of cellular network. In the 5G age, telecommunications companies are investing commensurately to strengthen the radio access network (RAN) and core network (CN) of their wireless technology to stay ahead of their competitors. However, what frequently holds such enterprises from providing hassle-free services to its customers is the lack of well-vetted RAN and CN node testing models. The incessant subscriber growth in the mobile industry has resulted in increased traffic throughout the RAN and core network. Consequently, this has imposed several challenges for network equipment vendors and operators, who must test the network elements for reliability, feature verification, interoperability, and acceptance. Addressing these impediments, Artiza Networks, a leader in 3G, 4G, and 5G RAN, and CN node testing is providing impetus to the long-term growth of telecommunications companies. Under the able leadership of Takashi Tokonami, president, co-founder, and CEO of Artiza Networks, the company is providing innovative solutions to its global customers.

Joining hands with the industry’s top network vendors and operators, this Japanese company has tested the RAN and CN nodes of the world’s most advanced mobile networks. Together with that, Artiza’s in-house development of product and solutions are enabling its customers to meet their full-range wireless telecommunications needs. Aritza has developed a tool named DuoSIM-A FT (Advanced Functional Tester).

This unique test system is optimized for validating the development of eNB functions that are on the cutting edge of RAN technology. DuoSIM-A FT prioritizes in testing the basic functionality of eNodeB (eNB) features in the development stage, as an imperative to detect flaws when they are still easy to fix. The product also enables the user to automate testing by allowing them to write scripts with a command-line interface, which in turn saves valuable time in test labs. Aritza has developed another tool called DuoSIM-A LT (Advanced Load Tester), which caters its abilities to test the performance of eNB features. It uncovers defects in eNB through capacity and duration tests that are impossible for less robust test systems to detect. This system also finds the true capacity of an eNB by testing it against worst-case scenario network simulations.

Above all, Artiza’s pinnacle of a solution is its DuoSIM-5G that supports the combined testing of LTE/LTE-A and 5G networks. It possesses the versatility to test the function and performance of gNodesBs (gNB) and eNodeBs. Consequently, this helps network operators and equipment vendors create and develop 5G radio access networks. The DuoSIM-5G test platform is adaptable and readily scalable to deliver first-to-market solutions based on 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR) standards.

These seemingly profound solutions have won the trust of many industry bigwigs like NTT DoCoMo, Nokia, Huawei, and many others. In fact, since 2011, Nokia has relied on Artiza’s DuoSIM series for developing and testing products. The company’s market-leading capacity and award-winning support teams have given Nokia a major advantage in satisfying the needs of their global customers.

Today, Artiza Networks is already engaging in projects for simulating 5G RAN. The reason behind this is to ensure that its products and solutions are market-ready to bolster its clients during the 5G storm. Going forward, with its world-class line of testing solutions, the Tokonami led company plans to continue proving itself to be a dominant player in the telecommunications market.
