Achieved with Keysight’s Open RAN Studio,
signal source and analyzer solutions
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology
company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments
accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced
inter-operability development testing (IODT) of O-RAN radio units
(O-RUs) in collaboration with Cambridge Industries Group (CIG), a
leading original design manufacturer (ODM), headquartered in
Shanghai, China.
The testing was accomplished using CIG’s O-RU and Keysight’s
Open RAN Studio, signal source and analyzer solutions to create an
environment for 5G new radio (NR) modulation analysis. As a result,
CIG and other vendors of O-RUs can accelerate design verification
of products based on specifications set by the O-RAN Alliance. CIG
is part of a network infrastructure ecosystem that is using O-RAN
fronthaul interfaces to unlock the full potential of an open RAN
architecture.
“We rely on partners such as Keysight to effectively develop and
validate open RAN standards-based network elements, including small
cells and O-RAN compliant radio and distributed units,” said Haibo
Zhao, founder, chief technology officer (CTO) at CIG. “Working with
Keysight, with cross-domain expertise, enables CIG to derive
insights critical in the design and manufacturing of a flexible
infrastructure that serves diverse use cases for consumers and
vertical industries.”
Keysight, the first test vendor to launch O-RAN distributed unit
(O-DU) emulation software for validating O-RAN compliant O-RUs, has
helped speed development of conformance validation and verification
of interoperability between O-RUs and O-DUs. Keysight’s Open RAN
Studio integrates with the company’s PathWave signal generation and
vector signal analysis (VSA) software for advanced modulation
analysis of signal and radio performance.
“Together with key partners such as CIG, we are advancing the
development of a disaggregated, virtualized network architecture
based on O-RAN specifications,” said Giampaolo Tardioli, vice
president of Keysight and general manager of Keysight's Network
Access Group. “The future of pervasive wireless connectivity
requires end-to-end performance verification of 5G network elements
across multiple domains including, radio frequency (RF), mmWave and
O-RAN protocol.”
