STOCKHOLM, March 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Polystar T&M, a leading supplier of Test and Measurement
solutions for the telecom industry today announced that its
virtualised vSolver solution has been chosen by a European Tier 1
operator to support rollout of VoLTE, NB-IoT and other services,
across six regional markets.

The new contract covers the implementation of the NFV-based
vSolver in the virtualised core of each of the networks. The
virtual, cloud-based architecture supported by the operator allows
rapid network and service deployment, backed by elastic scale. To
support this elasticity and operational flexibility, the operator
needs a similarly scalable test solution.
The vSolver solution will be deployed as a VNF (Virtual Network
Function) in the NFV infrastructure and carry out functional
validation as well as performance and stability regression testing.
vSolver includes support for a wide range of services, including
VoLTE, VoWiFi, and NB-IoT, as well as close integration with the
EPC and legacy networks, such as UMTS and SS7.
New virtual networking and service chaining on the NFV
infrastructure needs to be tested in ways that allow the operators
to maximise the benefits of the fast-paced and dynamic virtual
environment. vSolver enables the operator to achieve this, through
the simulation of multiple millions of different devices, allowing
validation of both the Core Network and service-specific
Application Servers. In addition, vSolver supports voice, mobile
data and IoT service testing from a single platform, allowing the
operator to obtain and assess measurable insights on crucial KPIs
before new services are launched, network elements added, or
software updates released to the live network.
"Operators are rapidly migrating core networks to a virtualized,
telco cloud infrastructure in order to take advantage of faster
deployment times and lower TCO. This move not only brings new
opportunities but also a new set of challenges. The selection of
Polystar and the vSolver is a testament to the confidence the
operator has in our ability to help them succeed on its Telco cloud
journey," says Håkan Holmgren, Managing Director, Polystar T&M.
"We have more than 15 years' experience working with leading
vendors and mobile operators for mobile core network validation.
This made it possible for us to meet the broad range of technical
requirements and provide a complete NFV-based solution, spanning
SS7, VoWiFi and NB-IOT in a single product. We look forward to
helping this operator on its continued migration to the cloud."
