With the disaggregation of base station components, proprietary protocols have been replaced with standard interfaces. While this change has many positives for wireless network infrastructure, it also means these links need to be tested and require specialized in-the-loop tests and emulations. Also crucially important are the high-quality RF measurements that enable these test cases. By combining best-in-class RF performance with industry-leading expertise in wireless communications test, a collaboration with NI enables quality test solutions backed by decades of wireless industry experience.
FEATURED SOLUTION
NI’s Open RAN (O-RAN) Radio Unit (RU) production test system helps you tackle the complex challenges of developing and testing RUs in a standardized and disaggregated RAN architecture. Together with NI Partners, leverage integrated DUT control over the O-RAN fronthaul interface, scalable test architectures, and fast test speed for efficient RU production test.
For over five years, Spirent and NI have partnered to support 5G test equipment development. Together, we have crossed major 5G transitions and are now pioneering test methods for compliance with O-RAN Alliance standards and beyond, increasing opportunities for innovation and competition. We are excited to continue the journey with NI as a foundation of our solutions.
