Overview
Disaggregated RAN architecture, virtualization, open interfaces, multi-vendor interworking, and cloud deployments present challenges that demand thorough O-RAN CU, DU, and RU testing.
Amantya’s ORAN testing capabilities include testing individual O-DU, O-CU, and near Real-Time RIC network elements, combined components, and complete end-to-end open network validation. Our solution enables network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) to validate their products against ORAN industry standards and helps mobile network operators (MNOs) verify interoperability and performance under load before deployment. By leveraging real-time emulation on an automated platform, our pre-integrated solution streamlines the ORAN testing process, empowering customers to confidently deploy Open RAN, realize its full potential, and achieve significant cost and operational efficiencies.
