02 December 2022 | Research
Strategy report | PPTX and PDF (7 slides) | Automated Assurance| Next-Generation Wireless Networks
Testing and integrating Open RAN is costly and resource-intensive, which is contributing to the slow deployment rate of multi-vendor networks. Open RAN vendors and operators could benefit from collaborative, standardised and automated testing processes to help to reduce the financial and operational burdens.
Topics included in this report
- A common interoperability testing blueprint to support standardised processes
- Collaboration and a diversified ecosystem to tackle testing challenges collectively
- Laboratory automation and equipment emulation to help to reduce cost and accelerate deployment
