Polaris Networks, one of the global leaders in LTE test tools and emulators ventured into small cell market and private LTE enterprise sector through its LTE-in-a-box, virtual EPC and NetEPC products. NB-IOT emulators are available on latest releases. Check for more details on slides

1. Polaris Networks Current Focus
LTE cellular communication
• Evolved Packet Core (EPC)
• Network-in-a-box / Deployable Systems
• Test tools for testing functionality and performance of Base Stations
and EPC
Cyber-security: Protecting key IT assets using User Behavior Analytics
Internet of Things: Platform to develop secure and scalable IoT
applications.

2. NetEPC Components
Polaris Networks - LTE NetEPC 2

3. NetEPC – USPs
Built-in NMS for OA&M, Configuration and provisioning
Distributed architecture to provide high scalability
Available on carrier grade ATCA and microTCA platforms ; a single system
can have multiple nodes to provide active-active hardware redundancy
NetEPC also runs on virtual platforms to offer flexibility
Portable and Hardware agnostic; this allows NetEPC to be used on platforms
befitting specific deployment requirements
Interoperate with all leading eNodeB vendors
Intellectual property of NetEPC solely owned by Polaris Networks
Full compliance with 3GPP release 11

4. NetCell
LTE Network-in-a-box
Co-located LTE Small Cell and Embedded LTE Packet Core in a single
enclosure.
Compact, Cost-effective LTE Core including MME, SGW, PGW, HSS,
PCRF.
Single-box solution with only one cable connection (power over Ethernet)
and two antennas for smaller footprint and fast and easy deployment.
Rugged outdoor enclosure for tough environments.
Available in all major LTE frequency bands, including Band 14 for Public
Safety. Designed for Field Deployment -- Works with an external HSS and
PCRF, automatically switching to the local HSS and PCRF when the external
link is down
Interoperate with external eNodeB, EPC nodes, legacy networks

7. LTE Test Tools
Functional Testers and Load Testers
EPC Functional Testers
Test tools for MME, SGW, PGW, PCRF, combined SGW+PGW nodes to
validate compliance with relevant 3GPP specifications
Based on conformance tests identified by Polaris Networks
Large number of test cases are pre-scripted and available with the test tools
User can add/edit test cases (e.g., to create malformed packets)
Load Tester
Capacity and performance measurement tools for EPC and Diameter nodes
Generates signaling and data traffic
Hardware agnostic – choose platform based on load required for testing

8. LTE Emulators
End-to-end LTE Network Simulation
State-machine based implementations to simulate real network behavior in
lab
Emulators for UE + eNodeB, MME, SGW, PGW, HSS, PCRF, MBMSGW,
MCE, ANDSF, ePDG, C-SGN (Cellular – Internet of Things)
Implements 3GPP defined protocols and interfaces
(UE/eNodeB Emulator simulates UEs without a radio interface)
Connects with real network equipment to create a mix of real and emulated
elements as part of test-bed

9. Key notes
➢ LTE Packet Core is sold directly and through system
integrators.
➢ Polaris’ test tools (Emulators, FT and LT) are used by
leading vendors across the world
➢ Our LTE Packet Core is exhaustively used in research
Labs of leading operators across the world and
currently under deployable phase by our SI partners
and MVNOs
