◉ Network Virtualization – Testing for IoT
Emulation and simulation of a
network as close to production
as possible for the purpose of
assessing the impact of the
network on the user
experience and optimizing
network parameters. Ensuring
that the infrastructure is not a
bottleneck and ensuring that
anything added to the
infrastructure does not
negatively impact the network
or other connected elements.
