ANRITSU’S PARTICIPATION IN O-RAN GLOBAL PLUGFEST FALL 2022 PROVIDES TEST DIVERSITY FOR THE O-RAN ECOSYSTEM
Anritsu contributes to the construction of secure mobile networks via real network test scenarios.
Anritsu Corporation successfully participated in three O-RAN Global PlugFest Fall 2022 venues as follows:
- PlugFest in Kanagawa, Japan, hosted by KDDI, NTT DOCOMO, Rakuten Mobile, Softbank and Yokosuka Research Park (YRP) at Japan OTIC (Open Testing and Integration Centre)
- PlugFest in Durham, North America, hosted by the University of New Hampshire's Interoperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL)
- Joint European O-RAN and TIP PlugFest hosted by Deutsche Telekom, EANTC and Vodafone in Berlin, Germany
The Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) has open interoperable interfaces that drives vendor diversity, increases innovation, and improves time to market. However, O-RAN provides more challenges for network synchronization and requires more extensive interoperability and performance testing. Anritsu is providing a unique O-RAN Test Platform to address these challenges.
Anritsu’s O-RAN test solution used at the venues consisted of Anritsu’s O-DU Emulator, Network Master Pro MT1000A and Signal Analyzer MS2850A.
The Signal Analyzer MS2850A, covering 9 kHz to 32 or 44.5 GHz, is a high-performance RF signal analyzer supporting an analysis bandwidth up to 1 GHz. It also offers excellent flatness and a spurious-free dynamic range to support wideband communications measurements, such as 5G mobile communications and broadcast satellite equipment.
The Network Master Pro MT1000A is an all-in-one transport network tester for speeds from 1.5 Mbps to 100 Gbps using various technologies and supports PTP/SyncE tests in the Synchronization Plane (S-Plane).
By participating in the PlugFests, Anritsu is providing diversity in testing the O-RAN ecosystem and contributing to the construction of secure mobile networks by offering test scenarios that are a closer match to a real field network environment.
