Certification and badging guidelines and parts of end-to-end, inter-operability and conformance testing
In addition, the O-RAN ALLIANCE approved the first two European Open Test and Integration Centers (OTIC):
- European OTIC in Berlin hosted by Deutsche Telekom
- European OTIC in Torino hosted by TIM
Next week, at the O-RAN Virtual event, a total of 36 demos will be showcased.
“It is great to see the momentum in adoption of O-RAN based solutions,” said Alex Jinsung Choi, COO of the O-RAN ALLIANCE and SVP Technology Strategy & Technology Innovation, Deutsche Telekom. “OTICs will play an important role in managing the complex interoperability scenarios and related integration cost, and accelerate O-RAN product commercialization in large network solutions.”
