Testing Open RAN: Interoperability, Performance, Security, and Energy Efficiency

Webinars

Presented at Keysight World Tech Days India 2024, this paper addresses the critical aspects of testing Open RAN (O-RAN) technology, focusing on interoperability, performance, security, and energy efficiency. As O-RAN transforms traditional network architectures by fostering multi-vendor collaboration, rigorous testing is essential to ensure smooth functionality across diverse components. This paper explores the unique challenges of verifying interoperability between different vendor equipment, assessing performance under dynamic conditions, and ensuring robust security against emerging threats. Additionally, it covers methods for optimizing energy efficiency in O-RAN deployments, providing key insights for operators and developers striving to build reliable, sustainable, and secure open networks.
