VIAVI to demonstrate open RAN test solutions at 5G xperience day

These 5G network-ready solutions will be presented at VIAVI 5G Xperience Day on Dec 01, 2022 at The Leela Palace, Bengaluru.

Viavi Solutions will showcase its Open RAN test portfolio encompassing robust conformance, performance and interoperability testing solutions that span the entire Open RAN lifecycle at 5G Xperience day on Dec 01, 2022 at Bengaluru. Presenting VIAVI’s robust test, verification and assurance solutions from RAN to Core, the show will feature test solutions to deliver fully secure 5G with intelligent network solutions across NSA, SA and Open RAN.

Based on its position in validating network products for operators and manufacturers worldwide – including all Tier-1 network equipment manufacturers – VIAVI claims to have the most comprehensive O-RAN test platform on the market, enabling testing on premise, in the cloud or as a service. The company is also active in specifications development, as the editor of interoperability test specifications in the open fronthaul (WG4) and open interfaces (WG5) working groups, and is claimed to be the only test and measurement vendor to chair multiple working groups at the O-RAN ALLIANCE.

Enabling network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) and communication service providers (CSPs) in developing efficient, intelligent and versatile 5G Networks, VIAVI 5G Xperience day is scheduled to display a comprehensive line-up of solution demonstration that addresses challenges in Open RAN component development, RAN Intelligent controller - non-real and near-real time, network slicing, security consideration in 5G and deliberate on how using the right test methods can remove potential deployment issues, ranging from integration with other O-RAN network components to performance and efficiency in testing.

“Our flexible approach and ability to accommodate different customer requirements allows us to support various options and configurations that operators require to deploy Open RAN successfully,” said Monojit Samaddar, Country Director, VIAVI solutions. NEMs and CSPs rely on our unparalleled end-to-end test and assurance solutions that are essential to scaling and sustaining 5G networks. As 5G services begin to roll out in India, we aim to work with operators closely, accelerating the pace of Open RAN adoption, he added.

As the momentum behind Open RAN as a logical counterpart for 5G RAN dis-aggregation and innovation continues to build, VIAVI says it is accelerating next-gen Open RAN networks and has established a multi-faceted commitment to the success of Open RAN development and deployment. Advancing Open RAN networks, VIAVI will be showcasing its end-to-end portfolio of test solutions addressing the challenges of multi-vendor interoperability and security of Open RAN architecture, while empowering operators to utilize best-of-breed components based on their individual network.
