O-RAN ALLIANCE Industry Summit June 2022
The O-RAN ALLIANCE Industry Summit June 2022 concluded on June 29, 2022 and is now available for on-demand replay at our website .
O-RAN Certification and Badging Program in cooperation with Open Test and Integration Centres (OTIC)
O-RAN ALLIANCE has launched its Certification and Badging program. O-RAN certificates state that an equipment or function is conformant to O-RAN specifications, whereas the O-RAN badges confirm interoperability or end-to-end functionality of an O-RAN solution. O-RAN certificates and badges will be issued by the Open Testing and Integration Centers, or OTICs.
The OTICs provide collaborative, open, and impartial working environment to ensure consistency and quality of testing of O-RAN products and solutions. O-RAN ALLIANCE has just approved the 7th OTIC and first one in Americas: Kyrio O-RAN Test and Integration Lab hosted by CableLabs.
See the full list of approved OTICs at our website .
O-RAN next Generations Research Group will focus on future network standards
O-RAN ALLIANCE has formed its next Generations Research Group (nGRG).
“The nGRG will focus on research of open and intelligent RAN principles in 6G and future network standards,” said Chih-Lin I, Co-chair of O-RAN Technical Steering Committee and Chief Scientist, Wireless Technologies, China Mobile Research Institute. “We are seeing very positive uptake on nGRG from the O-RAN ecosystem as well as the academic sphere and we are looking forward to seeing further progress of the research.”

O-RAN Global PlugFest Spring 2022 concluded at 3 continents with 50 participants
Starting from this year, O-RAN ALLIANCE switches to hosting two global PlugFests per year, to accommodate for ever increasing interest of the diverse O-RAN community to efficiently test and integrate their O-RAN solutions.
O-RAN Global PlugFest Spring 2022 took place at 3 continents with 50 participating companies or institutions, some of which participated at more than one venue.
In North America, the O-RAN ‘PoCFest’ hosted by AT&T and DISH spanned across 4 labs in cooperation with several universities:
- TIP Community Lab at Meta, Menlo Park CA
- POWDER Lab and NSF PAWR SITE with the University of Utah
- COSMOS Lab and NSF PAWR SITE with the Rutgers University, Columbia University, NYU Wireless
- InterOperability Lab at the University of New Hampshire
Activities focused on demonstrations of use cases within the O-RAN Use Cases Detailed Specification version 6.0 & 7.0, as well as use cases that are currently in the process of being specified such as Energy Saving / Energy Efficiency. More than 20 unique O-RAN components were tested for conformance to O-RAN specifications.
The Proof-of-Concept approach also supported the evolution of testbeds across companies and research institutions, which is expected to accelerate the availability of next generation research platforms, consistent with the mission of the recently established nGRG within O-RAN.
In addition to the hosts and labs, participants included Analog Devices, Anritsu, Calnex Solutions, Cisco, Fujitsu, HCL, highstreet technologies, IP Infusion, ITRI, Juniper Networks, Keysight Technologies, META, NSF ARA: Living Wireless Lab, NSF PAWR: AERPAW, NSF PAWR: Colosseum, Rohde & Schwarz, VIAVI Solutions, VMware and Wind River .
In Europe, the O-RAN PlugFest Spring 2022 hosted by Telefonica took place at the European OTIC in Madrid.
Activities focused on testing of open Xhaul transport solutions, including data plane functional and performance testing, as well as synchronization. Testing scenarios were mimicking realistic deployments with diversity of technologies, protocols, and encapsulations, to obtain meaningful insights on the solutions under test. There were three setups with different transport equipment, two instrumentation vendors, and one transceiver manufacturer.
In addition to the host, participants included ADVA Optical Networking, Juniper Networks, Keysight Technologies, Precision Optical Transceivers, Ribbon and VIAVI Solutions .
In Asia, O-RAN PlugFest Spring 2022 hosted by Auray took place at the Auray OTIC and Security Lab.
Divided into 18 test cases, activities focused on verification and validation of applicability of tests in a lab environment, specifically for Open Fronthaul tests, end-to-end tests, and Denial of Service (DoS) and blind exploitation types of security tests.
Performed actions covered a dry run of the O-RAN Certification and Badging, verifying the related processes and procedures.
The PlugFest also included Open RAN Testing and Optimization for Industry IoT – smart scoring methodology for end-to-end service experience based on 3GPP 5G E2E KPIs.
In addition to the host, participants included Alpha Networks, Askey Computer, Calnex Solutions, Foxconn, Institute for Information Industry, Inventec, IP Infusion, ITRI, JPC connectivity, Keysight Technologies, Lions Technology, LITEON, MICAS, NKG, Pegatron, QCT, REIGN Technology, Rohde & Schwarz, Sageran, VIAVI Solutions and WNC .
The O-RAN ALLIANCE is preparing a web announcement and a Virtual Showcase to allow interested public to explore the O-RAN Global PlugFest Spring 2022 in detail – soon to be available at our website .
