Simulated core benchmark
Pin images, generate subscribers, add control-plane and user-plane stress tests, and produce RND-1K evidence.
5GtoB Private 5G Lab
A transparent open-source 5G SA R&D baseline for Dubai/UAE university collaboration, where laptop/VPS simulation prepares the software and university labs move the system to real SIMs, handsets, radio units, stress benchmarking, NEF/API innovation, and enterprise use-case business development.

Joint lab program
The lab is built with a strict phase boundary: laptop/VPS simulation first, then university real-radio trials with SIM/eSIM, handsets, gNB or radio unit, stress testing, NEF/API use cases, and business-case development.
Real radio lab
Provision SIM/eSIM, attach handsets or test UEs, integrate a radio unit or gNB, define RF safety, and validate over-the-air traces.
5G-to-business use cases
Build NEF/AF applications and convert technical KPIs into business cases for UAE enterprise segments.
Showcase and pilot
Create a university-backed demonstration, publish non-confidential benchmarks, and prepare enterprise pilots.
Vendor-style capacity, without pretending
The roadmap uses license-like tiers, but every tier must be backed by a reference architecture and benchmark report. The current laptop remains a demo environment.
2 simulated UEs, 4 PDU sessions, one guest call demo.
1,000 provisioned subscribers and controlled active UE testing on dedicated infra.
Split core, UPF, DB, and simulator hosts with repeatable tests.
HA, security, multi-UPF, external validation, and license enforcement.
University collaboration targets
Dubai and UAE partners can help turn the current lab into a radio/stress-test research environment for enterprise private 5G and 5G-Advanced/6G direction.

Collaboration note
We are preparing a Dubai-based applied R&D collaboration around private 5G, enterprise 5G-to-Business use cases, and 5G-Advanced/6G-oriented network testing. The current baseline is transparent: simulated only for the laptop/VPS phase, ready to become a university testbed for real SIMs, handsets, radio units, stress testing, and business-case validation.
