The conference will bring together industry stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities surrounding Open RAN and cloud-native deployment, said the company. Key topics will include operational models leveraging AI, ML, Network Orchestration, and Automation, alongside discussions on use cases of disaggregated networks and the importance of test and performance validation.
Tsunehiko Chiba, Chief Wireless Architect at VIAVI Solutions, will provide insights into the current state of Open RAN, integration challenges, and security considerations. Chiba will elaborate on how VIAVI's thoroughly tested and optimized RIC can enhance RAN intelligence, enabling the confident rollout of Open RAN and new architectures.
Comprehensive Testing Solutions for Open RAN
"Testing at scale is crucial to ensure the optimum performance and interoperability of Open RAN and cloud-native networks. VIAVI offers the industry's most comprehensive end-to-end Open RAN test suite, encompassing robust conformance, performance, interoperability, intelligence and security testing that spans the entire Open RAN lifecycle," said Monojit Samaddar, Country Director, VIAVI.
"As RAN disaggregation facilitates managing the complexity required to address the 5G challenge, intelligence in every layer of the RAN architecture is at the core of Open RAN technology. This will allow operators to deploy a truly self-managed, zero-touch automated network."
