Open RAN Test & Assurance

There are significant challenges that must be addressed while building out O-RAN and ensuring it performs as planned. Fortunately there's a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to O-RU testing challenges.

Will Open RAN create an expanded ecosystem of interchangeable RAN vendors, lowering costs and speeding innovation, or will it bring it more complexity and cost, and lead to vendor-specific siloed implementations? Join Appledore principal analyst, Francis Haysom, and Spirent 5G strategic lead, Stephen Douglas, as they discuss and debate the future of Open RAN and what can be done to ensure it fulfills its promise. This Light Reading webinar explores the latest Open RAN market trends and challenges from the prospects for new market entrants to new techniques for reducing complexity with automated performance and multi-vendor interoperability testing.

Hear from Spirent VP of Product Management, James Kimery, as he gives an overview of Open RAN’s architecture, explains the challenges it brings and discusses new testing strategies to address these.

ORAN is being adopted by service providers and equipment manufacturers to reduce infrastructure deployment costs and to lower the barrier of integrating innovative product developments.

Solve synchronization challenges for enabling breakthrough 5G experiences.

Whether gearing up for rollouts or waiting eagerly to see if ORAN can deliver on its promise, the path forward will be defined by the testing and validation work currently under way.
