The Spirent Landslide C50 is a mobile packet core performance test system designed for small-scale test beds and development environments. It delivers the same test applications and node emulators as larger Landslide platforms, but with data performance and user scale tuned for labs that don’t need full carrier-scale capacity.

You’d typically use the C50 when you need to:

• Develop and functionally test new network elements (e.g., 3G/4G/5G core functions, O-RAN, Wi‑Fi, IMS, Diameter).
• Run end-to-end tests across O-RAN, Mobile Core, Wi‑Fi, IMS, and Diameter networks.
• Emulate tens of thousands of users and generate Gigabytes of traffic without investing in a large chassis.
• Prototype and verify new services before moving to higher-capacity regression platforms.

The C50 can optionally combine the Landslide Test Manager and Test Server into a single appliance, which simplifies setup for smaller labs. Test scripts and automation you build on the C50 can be reused directly on larger Landslide C100 systems, so you can start small and scale up your testing without rework.

The Landslide C50 is built to help you reimagine busy-hour and complex call modeling in a controlled, repeatable way.

Key capabilities include:

• Command Mode Sequencer: Lets you build sophisticated call flows and traffic patterns to validate busy hour behavior and stress conditions.
• Automation APIs: Supports both TCL and RESTful API interfaces, so you can integrate Landslide into your CI/CD pipelines, regression frameworks, or custom automation tools.
• Dependable, reproducible tests: Busy-hour call modeling and automation are designed so that test conditions and execution are consistent run after run, giving you confidence that differences in results are due to network changes, not test instability.

For both network equipment manufacturers and operators, this means you can:

• Validate functionality, scale, capacity, and data performance under realistic load.
• Use the same automated scenarios from early development through to regression and acceptance testing.

In short, the C50 helps you reshape how you validate peak-load scenarios by combining flexible call modeling with automation-friendly interfaces.

From a deployment perspective, the Landslide C50 is a 3U rack-mount appliance designed to fit into standard lab environments.

• Weight: 31 lbs / 14.05 kg
• Operating environment: 10% to 70% RH, non-condensing
• Power: 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz, 600 W
• Regulatory: FCC Part 15 Class A, EN 55032 / CISPR 32 Class A, EN 55035 / CISPR 35, EN 60950

Client PC requirements (for Landslide Client):

• 64-bit OS with at least 4 GB RAM (1 GB assigned to client)
• Minimum 10 GB available disk space
• 100 Mb or 1 Gb Ethernet connection to the LAN
• Browser: best viewed with Internet Explorer 10 or Firefox 30

• Java Runtime Environment 1.11.0 or later for the Landslide Application

Interface modules and options (NICs purchased separately):

• 1 Gbps: Quad-port fiber (L-NIC-31B) and quad-port copper (L-NIC-32B), up to 4 per Test Server.
• 10 Gbps: Quad-port 10Gbps SFP NIC with four 10GBASE-SR MMF transceivers, up to 2 per Test Server.
• 25 Gbps: Dual-port SFP28 25GBASE-SR NIC with optics and 1m twin-ax cables.
• 40 Gbps: Dual-port QSFP 40GBASE-SR4 NIC with optics and 1m twin-ax cables.
• 100 Gbps: Dual-port QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 NIC with passive copper cable.
• IPsec Accelerator (L-ACC-008): Hardware-accelerated IPsec processing to offload encryption tasks.

The base system (L-C50-S5-SYS) combines the test manager and test server on one appliance. For end-to-end testing with moderate additional capacity, you can add a C50-S5 add-on test server. A broad catalog of applications is available to emulate and test 3G, 4G, and 5G network functions such as gNB, AMF, SMF, UPF, MME, SGW, PGW, and many others under real-world control and user-plane conditions.
