For many operators, the move to Open RAN environments is a necessary one that will deliver cost savings and flexibility. However, the approach to testing has to fundamentally change due to the immaturity and unpredictability of Open RAN technologies and the increasing number of players in the market.

For operators, the move to Open RAN environments is necessary to deliver cost savings and flexibility, but their approach to testing has to change.

How to Set a Winning Open RAN Testing Strategy

For many operators, the move to Open RAN environments is a necessary one that will deliver cost savings and flexibility, but their approach to testing has to fundamentally change.

Open RAN promises to lower costs, spur innovation, improve user experience and serve smaller, tightly defined 5G networks. But building new Open RAN networks from the ground up is a daunting prospect. Testing comprehensively and continuously— from lab to live—is critical to ensure the Open RAN performs across the full lifecycle.

In this industry roundtable, experts discuss where Open RAN technology stands and the challenges of building, testing and deploying ORAN networks.
