Validating network equipment in the relevant complex network environments
OpenLANES provides integrated capabilities for testing hardware components within terrestrial or space emulations. Thanks to the built-in automation of OpenLANES, users can efficiently evaluate the capabilities of the provided hardware and software installed on top of and across diverse network topologies ensuring their viability in a wide range of relevant environments.
- Connect any hardware device with the emulator using Ethernet or optical interfaces
- Emulate the links of the hardware device using the OpenLANES
- Verify hardware nodes and their software by communicating with the emulated virtual nodes
- Verify and validate new mechanisms in real-time across the complete environment
