SIGTRAN Emulator

Realistically Emulate a Variety of Network Nodes

Overview

Emulators are software or hardware-based solutions that enable operators to mimic specific components of the mobile network to test security, performance and capacity.

What we Can Do For You

SIGTRAN Emulators from Valid8, offers solutions capable of realistically emulating a variety of network nodes including:
CAP
INAP
GSMMAP
ISUP

Valid8 Emulator Testing helps solve complex testing challenges for multi-protocol environments including 5G NGAP, NAS, PFCP, HTTP2. In addition, it cuts through the information overload by customizing test plans for your unique environment and enables testing and simulation of multiple devices on control plane and user plane.

Configurable Parameters

Automation API

User commands can be fully automated using an HTTP API. This includes all control functions as well as collection of results and metrics. It can be integrated into any CI system including Jenkins, CircleCI, Gitlab and others. Our Autom8 Python framework is included to ease integration.

Scripting

The application can be edited directly in the browser using VTDL using Composer, a powerful development environment that includes error checking and a graphical view easing the creation and modification of scenarios. Codec Studio can be used to quickly build message templates from raw PDUs, as captured by tcpdump for example, to use in the scenarios.
