Overview

Valid8 2G Virtual Lab provides an all-in-one, cost-effective 2G software environment for demonstration, testing and training purposes

What we Can Do For You

Valid8 2G Virtual Lab enables all the necessary network subsystems for a realistic end-to-end emulation of the network.

Suitable for:

Test labs – test technicians, sales team (for demos/POCs), researchers
Equipment vendors (including functional elements/network functions, probes and call recorders) – developers, QA team (managers, engineers), CTO, sales team (for demos/POCs), researchers
System integrators – deployment technicians, sales team (for demos/POCs), researchers
Network operators - QA team (managers, engineers), researchers
Universities – professors (for coursework), research-assistants, students
Corporate training facilities – trainers

Tiers

There are different license tiers based on what you need, starting with Basic which provides everything you need to run a self-contained emulated environment, with up to 2 subscribers and see the message flows in Wireshark. The next tier is Advanced which enables IMS, environment configuration, scenario and template editing. Finally, the Pro tier adds the ability to connect to a real DUT (device under test), automation API, consulting and training.
