Test, evolve and train without the risk

XT³Lab is Xantaro's multi-vendor testing, evolution and training environment for telecoms and enterprise networks. Built around the latest systems from our technology partners, it gives you a controlled space to replicate real-world networks, model component and protocol behaviour, and resolve issues early – before they ever reach production.

The lab sits at the centre of every customer project, supporting the full lifecycle: from feasibility studies and performance measurement, through to proof-of-concept, integration testing and operational training, to replication and fault analysis during a support case. 

The result is faster validation, lower-risk change, and the confidence to evolve your network with evidence behind every decision.

XT3 Lab Testimonial

Part of the reason that they’re so good to work with is they’ve been one of our longest standing and one of our largest partners across EMEA for a number of years now. And mainly because their technical capability is just streets ahead of most other partners that we’ve got out there, their labs are some of the best equipped labs I’ve ever seen and maybe even slightly better than ours, if I’m honest.

Built for your project lifecycle

Our multi-vendor partner ecosystem gives the XT³Lab flexible setups and realistic network scenarios across every project phase. The lab uses current systems and the latest releases from our technology partners to support:

  • Feasibility studies
  • Performance measurements
  • Proof-of-concept and integration tests
  • Operational training
  • Re-enactment, analysis and troubleshooting in support cases.

It's also where our network engineers develop new Xantaro solutions – so the same environment that validates your network helps shape what comes next.

Lab-as-a-service

Dedicated, on-demand access to a fully-equipped multi-vendor lab, without the cost or complexity of building one in-house. Book the environment to run your own scenarios, compare technologies side by side, or develop proof-of-concepts against the latest systems from our partner ecosystem.

Testing-as-a-service

Advanced systems and specialised test tooling allow precise verification of network performance, security, reliability and scalability. You're supported by certified test engineers and consultants with deep, manufacturer-accredited expertise across every major platform we work with.

Training and validation support

Hands-on training delivered in a live, multi-vendor environment. Choose from standard courses on established technologies, custom training built around your network, training on the job within an active project, or tailor-made workshops – so your team learns on the same platforms they'll be operating.

Why choose Xantaro?

Engineering-first

The XT³Lab is run by the same network engineers who design, build and operate high-performance IP, optical, fibre (FTTx) and security networks every day. Every scenario is shaped by real-world delivery experience – not just theory. 

End-to-end accountability

The lab supports every phase of your project, from feasibility and design, through proof-of-concept and integration, to operational training and live support. And when an incident does occur, one expert entry point — XTAC — connects you directly to the specialist engineers who know the lab. One team owns the outcome across the lifecycle, so nothing falls between the gaps. 

Vendor-independent

Our multi-vendor lab environment enables honest, side-by-side comparisons across the latest systems from our technology partners. You get objective recommendations based on lab evidence, not what a single vendor wants to sell you. 

Trusted long-term partner

300+ customers across Germany and the UK trust Xantaro to plan, build and run their networks. The XT³Lab is part of that long-term relationship. A place where we validate, train and innovate together, project after project.

XT³Lab FAQs

What does XT³Lab cover?

XT³Lab is a multi-vendor lab environment for testing, validation and training. It supports feasibility studies, proof-of-concept, design and regression testing, operational training, and replication and fault analysis of existing networks – across IP/MPLS, optical, wireless, Data Centre, cloud, security, virtualisation and automation. 

Can you test our existing multi-vendor network?

Yes. The lab is vendor-agnostic by design and built around the latest systems from our technology partners – including Juniper, Nokia, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Infinera, NetScout, smartoptics and Infosim. We can replicate your environment and test changes safely before they go live. 

Can we use XT³Lab remotely?

Yes. The lab is available both on-site and remotely, with automated operations and test automation built in. You can run scenarios, review results and collaborate with our engineers from wherever you are. 

Do you offer training in the lab?

Yes. We deliver standard and custom training, on-the-job training within projects, and workshops and bootcamps, whether you're upskilling on established technologies, learning a new platform, or focusing on specific functions. 

How do we get started?

After a short discovery call, we'll scope your objectives, design the test scenarios and agree on the setup. Timelines depend on complexity, but our aim is always a fast, low-risk start that gets you to useful results quickly.
