Mobile Operator O-RAN Test and Visibility

5G Open RAN Testing

5G mobile technology promises to support the demand for higher bandwidth services, lower latency requirements, and to cope with the rapidly rising number of devices connecting to the network. To meet this challenge, while also reducing deployment costs, operational costs and increasing flexibility, 5G networks utilize an open model of the Radio Access Network (RAN). This splits functions between the Centralized Unit (CU), Distributed Unit (DU) and the Radio Unit (RU), and the O-RAN Alliance was formed to create open interface specifications.

In addition, the RAN is moving to a packet switched architecture to increase bandwidth efficiency and add flexibility. These packet based networks like Ethernet introduce new issues such as delay variation and packet loss, causing problems with timing protocols and latency sensitive applications being transported over the RAN. For this reason the RAN hardware and applications running over the RAN must be thoroughly tested and qualified while under the presence of real-world network delay and impairments.
