5G SA Lab it’s a complete 5G network in a desktop package.
It includes 5GC core network, 5G gNodeB and 2 5G SA compatible smartphones.

Can be used for:

  • testing 5G SA compatibility devices
  • Security testing for 5G either network or devices
  • MVNO – MNO 5G roaming scenarios
  • MNO – MNO 5G roaming scenarios
  • Learning environment for 5G SA network

Features

  • Setup/edit mobile network and component preferences via MMI management interface
  • Minimal monitoring of each network component, additional YateBTS monitoring possible
  • Wireshark capture of communication between components including decrypted IMS traffic
  • JSON API integration with any SIM management and CRM systems
  • JSON and REST API for sending SMS
  • Can use both 5G CAPIF, SIGTRAN/SS7 and Diameter for signaling
  • Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 and Non-IP
  • Works both stand alone and with external components
