The Essential Guide for Understanding O-RAN
O-RAN-based radio access networks (RANs) represent the mobile communication industry’s move toward an open, virtualized, and disaggregated architecture. O-RAN revolutionizes how mobile network operators (MNOs) can build RANs by breaking down the traditional hardware-centric RAN into building blocks and connecting them with open and standardized interfaces.
In this new world, you must perform testing to ensure multivendor components work together seamlessly and without compromising performance. This eBook will bring you up to speed quickly on the following O-RAN topics:
- O-RAN architecture
- Conformance and interoperability testing
- Transport network requirements
- Performance metrics
