Rohde & Schwarz and VIAVI Solutions verified new 4T4R O-RU design from Benetel at O-RAN ALLIANCE Global PlugFest Spring 2023
At O-RAN Global PlugFest Spring 2023, the following solution was used to validate the Benetel RAN650:
• The R&S SMM100A vector signal generator, R&S FSVA3000 signal and spectrum analyzer and R&S VSE vector signal explorer analysis software from Rohde & Schwarz emulate a real-world radio environment by generating, capturing and analyzing RF signals.
• The TM500 O-RU Tester from VIAVI implements the O-DU side of the M-plane and C/U-plane functionality; this is necessary to configure the interface with the O-RU and to exchange I/Q data over the Open Fronthaul.
• The O-RU Test Manager application from VIAVI provides a single point of control for the integrated system and ensures a seamless user experience throughout the test setup.
