5G N51 Interface Emulation

Overview

GL's Message Automation & Protocol Simulation (MAPS™) 5G System as a service-based architecture, includes a set of Network Functions (NFs) providing services as defined in 3GPP standards. The service-based interfaces use HTTP protocol with JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) as the application layer serialization protocol.

MAPS™ 5G N51 interface can emulate Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) and Network Exposure Function (NEF) via the service-based N51 interface. MAPS™ N51 Interface Emulator supports Namf_EventExposure service procedure.

GL has enhanced its MAPS™ protocol emulation tool to emulate multi-protocol and multi-interface offering a complete range of test solutions, covering the entire 5G, 4G, 3G, and 2G networks.

By mimicking real-world customer behavior in lab environments, our solutions allow mobile operators and equipment manufacturers to verify their 5G networks before deployment.

GL also provides a GUI based Multi-Protocol Analyzer for online capture and decode of the signaling in real-time both during tests and as a stand-alone tracer for live systems.
