On February 7, 2023, Infovista launched TEMS Cloud, a cloud-based network testing orchestration and analytics solution aimed at streamlining the network testing process and accelerating the 5G rollout. Network engineers can use TEMS Cloud to manage testing projects centrally and send work orders to test teams in the field.
AI and machine learning (ML) data are used by the solution to automate the testing process. This cuts down on the time and cost of testing projects. Dashboards allow senior management and engineers, among other user groups, to get real-time monitoring and reporting from TEMS Cloud. The AI-driven orchestration features of TEMS Cloud also make it possible for organizations to automate test scenarios and see how their networks are doing.
Regis Lerbour, VP Product, RAN Engineering, and Network Testing at Infovista, said, “The challenge with the old way of doing things was individual, highly skilled engineers conducting siloed network testing." He added, "They used their own approach, methodology, and scripts.”
