The center is designed to support the development of partnerships among O-RAN vendors that will help with the verification, introduction, and launch of O-RAN compliant solutions to market. In particular, vendors will be able to execute Interoperability Tests (IOT) and end-to-end testing for O-RU\/O-DU Open Fronthaul as well as xAPP testing for Nokia&#8217;s near-real-time RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC). The project is the latest in Nokia&#8217;s continued commitment to O-RAN, vRAN, and Edge Cloud innovation. Nokia plans to open similar facilities at its other global offices around the world in the future.<br \/>\nThe Nokia O-RAN Collaboration and Testing Center provides a collaborative, open, and impartial working environment to perform tests with the aim of launching O-RAN compliant solutions. The Center provides a venue to collaborate as well as validate different areas such as control, user, management, and synchronization plane compliance with O-RAN Alliance specifications. The short-term focus is on Open Fronthaul and near-real-time RIC expanding to other O-RAN interfaces in the near future.<br \/>\nThe Nokia O-RAN Collaboration and Testing Center is also designed to execute IOT and end-to-end testing for O-RU\/O-DU Open Fronthaul and xAPP testing for the near-real-time RIC. It is built with a variety of support nodes and test tools to ensure a collaborative, open, and confidential test environment.<br \/>\nThe center also places particular emphasis on the protection of participants&#8217; intellectual property and confidential material. It provides work area isolation of vendor personnel, equipment, and data through access controls, separate secure work areas, and network segregation.<br \/>\nPasi Toivanen, Head of Edge Cloud at Nokia, commented: \u00abOur new O-RAN Collaboration and Testing Center highlights our continued commitment towards O-RAN and the development of new solutions. At our Dallas offices, we have created a collaborative and secure working environment that offers best-in-class facilities to help our partners achieve their goal.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>Above, Pasi Toivanen, Head of Edge Cloud at Nokia \/ Image credited to Nokia<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New center to support the development of O-RAN compliant solutions Nokia announced that it has opened its first Open RAN (O-RAN) Collaboration and Testing Center at its offices in Dallas, Texas.
