Overview
The transition from 4G to 5G, the emergence of Open RAN (ORAN) architecture, the need for interoperability
among multiple nodes, and the shift toward automation due to the comprehensive nature of test plans collectively
contribute to making RAN network testing a challenging enterprise.
Amantya's AutoRAN
Accelerate Innovation. Improve Customer Experience
AutoRAN by Amantya is a user-friendly test automation framework for RAN OEMs, small cell manufacturers, chip vendors, and MNOs. It employs real devices to simulate deployment scenarios, identifying issues early.
- Customizable package with Core simulators (EPC/NGC/IMS) for end-to-end testing of RAN nodes (eNB/gNB).
- Adaptable to test ORAN components for a disaggregated RAN solution.
- Capable of testing RIC/CU/DU by selecting the appropriate test bed components.
- Standalone solution with provision for REST-based integration.
- Enables users to maximize benefits from their existing testing/development infrastructure.
