Open RAN Test & Assurance
Safely accelerate adoption and deliver on the expected cost and innovation benefits of Open RAN
A closer look at testing Open RAN
Open RAN, with its multi-vendor, disaggregated components, adds new dynamics to comprehensively testing individual elements and end-to-end systems. It’s critical to evaluate conformance, performance, interoperability, security, and capacity under real-time, real-world conditions to assess launch readiness. Read the eBook to understand the specific challenges for each test area and ensure your O-RAN elements and systems are ready for primetime.
What is Open RAN
Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture allows cellular service providers to run key network functions as virtualized software using vendor-neutral hardware. Traditional RAN is split into the Centralized Unit (CU), Distributed Unit (DU), Radio Unit (RU), and RAN Intelligence Controller (RIC). This helps avoid the dependence on a single vendor and, in turn, provides multiple benefits for the providers.
