Description:

Acentury will participate with consortium partners to research and create a process for creating “digital twins” for communication networks, also known as “Network Digital Twins” or NDTs. The NDT will replicate a physical network, allowing for testing, optimization and simulation of network activity in a virtual environment. The purpose of the NDT / LAMTA integration is for operators to use "LAMTA NDT" to test their networks virtually, without always needing a physical lab. Acentury will leverage our expertise in network element configuration, deployment and testing to generate customer specific NDTs that support a wide range of use cases.
