How do you test an Open RAN installation?
5G Technology World
by Aharon Etengoff
1M ago
Open RAN telecom networks need testing for each disaggregated component, but that’s not enough. End-to-end testing is also necessary. In How do Open RAN interfaces work?, we covered how Open RAN redefines traditional RAN architecture by disaggregating it into three primary components: the radio unit (RU), distributed unit (DU), and centralized unit (CU). This paradigm… The post How do you test an Open RAN installation? appeared first on 5G Technology World ..read more
