Network Emulator Market Analysis
Due to widespread digitization, organizations are migrating more and more to cloud-based infrastructure, which is pushing them to use network emulator solutions to verify network performance and Quality of Service. The rise in cyberattacks is another factor propelling the market's growth. Before a network is finally deployed, network emulators test and validate its infrastructure, improve its performance, and minimize downtime. Telecom service providers are using robust network testing and emulation systems due to the increase in network traffic and outages, as well as the current expanding demand for 5G network services. They can test SG devices and base stations before the final deployment with the use of network emulation technologies. It is expected that this will be crucial in opening up new doors for the network emulator market.
Network Emulator Market Overview
Network emulation is the process of using virtual network tools, or network emulators, to test the performance of different applications in real-time. Service providers, application developers, and manufacturers utilize network emulation to test the reliability of a network application or product. Network emulators come equipped with routing, filtering, impairments, and modifiers as standard features. In contrast to network simulations, these emulations are mathematical representations of the channels, traffic, protocols, and network models that are applied to a network. Performance evaluation, change impact prediction, and technology selection optimization are the goals. Many common network characteristics are included in network emulator designs, such as packet duplication, available bandwidth, a certain level of packet loss, and round-trip time between network reordering packets.
