Disaggregated RAN architecture, virtualization, open interfaces, multi-vendor interworking, and cloud deployments are some of the challenges that mandate comprehensive O-RAN CU, DU, and RU testing.
Amantya’s ORAN testing capability includes testing individual O-DU, O-CU, and near Real-Time RIC network elements, combined elements, and complete end-to-end open network validation. It helps network equipment manufacturers (NEM) validate their products according to ORAN industry standards while supporting MNOs in verifying the interoperability and performance under load of these components before deployment. Leveraging real-time emulation under an automated platform, our pre-integrated solution simplifies and streamlines the ORAN test process so our customers can confidently deploy Open RAN and realize its full potential while achieving high cost and operational efficiencies.
