O-RAN Fronthaul Validation
Open fronthaul testing to ensure O-RAN interoperability
Launching Open RAN Fronthaul with Confidence
Validating interoperability, performance, standards conformance and scalability.
The promise of Open RAN (O-RAN) vendor diversity, lower costs, and flexibility hinges on this next-generation radio technology working as intended. Assess interoperability, performance, and reliability, to launch Open RAN fronthaul with confidence.
Open RAN’s target benefits include increased competition, reduced radio pricing, improved innovation, and a foundational architecture for new service models. The Open Fronthaul (OFH) transport network plays a critical role by facilitating communication and connectivity between the O-RAN Radio Unit (O-RU) and O-RAN Distributed Unit (O-DU) components. Service providers need to validate its functionality to ensure end-to-end Open RAN network performance.
If Open RAN’s performance can be confidently validated against traditional RAN, a thriving ecosystem with diverse vendor participants delivering new features and functionality can flourish.
Validate O-RAN fronthaul performance and functionality to reap the benefits of Open RAN architecture.

O-RAN Fronthaul Performance and Functionality Testing
Open fronthaul testing is essential to ensure network component interoperability, performance, and reliability. Disaggregated O-RAN architecture introduces testing challenges given disaggregation of the O-RU and O-DU, which handle radio frequency processing and baseband processing tasks. Fronthaul testing focuses on validating the communication and functionality between these units according to O-RAN Alliance specifications.
Spirent TestCenter provides O-DU and O-RU device emulation for realistic multi-vendor network testing. This enables quick evaluation and troubleshooting of functionality, performance, and scalability of the OPF transport network. Spirent Managed Solutions provides experienced teams capable of supporting test and validation in complex environments.
