- Solution allows Fii to become first manufacturer to validate an
outdoor Open Radio Unit against O-RAN ALLIANCE conformance test
specifications
- Conformance testing solution emulates control, user,
synchronization, and management planes to support validation of
outdoor Open Radio Unit
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) has enabled Foxconn
Industrial Internet (Fii) to become the first manufacturer to
obtain a Certificate of Conformance for an outdoor Open Radio Unit
(O-RU) through the O-RAN ALLIANCE’s Certification and Badging
program. Fii’s O-RU was validated with the Keysight Open RAN Studio
solution.
By separating software from hardware through open interfaces and
virtualization, Open RAN network architectures offer mobile
operators increased flexibility and agility while reducing costs
and enhancing security. To ensure interoperability among Open RAN
equipment, the O-RAN ALLIANCE established its Certification and
Badging program allowing manufacturers to verify products are
compliant with O-RAN specifications by using O-RAN conformance test
specifications covering the control, user, synchronization, and
management (CUSM) planes.
The Keysight Open RAN Studio enabled Fii to verify its O-RU
conformance by supporting emulation and analysis of all four
planes, from fronthaul Ethernet to the radio frequency (RF) air
interface. In the case of the synchronization plane (S-Plane), the
solution allowed Fii to test devices under ideal time resources and
apply simulated network noise, which is essential for conducting
S-Plane conformance testing and certifying RAN equipment under
realistic network conditions.
Fii verified their Outdoor O-RU using Keysight’s:
- U5040BSCB Open RAN Studio to combine features on various test
equipment into a single test solution, supporting high-performance
Open Distributed Unit (O-DU) emulation for MIMO and massive MIMO
O-RU testing and validation.
- Time Sync Analyzer, integrated with Open RAN Studio, to emulate
the O-DU for synchronization testing by generating Precision Time
Protocol (PTP), Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), and digital clocks
with built-in impairment for realistic testing while analyzing
clock quality.
The Keysight Open RAN Studio, integrated with Keysight’s newly
launched Time Sync Analyzer, simplifies testing by combining O-DU
emulation and S-Plane impairment into a single solution. Designed
for 5G O-RU testing, the solution meets the specifications set by
O-RAN ALLIANCE and provides powerful and user-friendly capabilities
for O-RU testing. Open RAN Studio is a part of the comprehensive
Keysight Open RAN Architect (KORA) portfolio.
Kevin Liu, Vice President for Fii, said: “We are
delighted to be the first in the world to receive the O-RU
Certificate of Conformance for an Outdoor Open Radio Unit.
Keysight’s test solution has enabled us to take a significant step
toward the commercial deployment of O-RUs.”
Peng Cao, Vice President and General Manager for Keysight
Wireless Test Group, said: “As a member of the O-RAN Alliance,
Keysight will continue to work at the forefront of O-RAN technology
adoption and commercial deployment. We are excited to enable
milestones like Fii’s Outdoor O-RU Certificate of Conformance.”
