O-RAN

Promote Future Network Development

O-RAN (Open Radio Access Network) is a framework that promotes openness and interoperability in wireless networks. This concept disrupts the traditional closed structure of wireless equipment by using open standards and virtualization technologies, allowing hardware and software from different vendors to integrate and operate together. The goal of O-RAN is to drive the modularization and flexible deployment of network functions, providing more agile and efficient wireless networks. It lowers the market entry barrier, encourages innovation, and accelerates the deployment of 5G and future networks. The O-RAN ALLIANCE is the main organization driving this concept. Its members include operators, vendors, and research institutions, all working together to promote an open and interconnected wireless network ecosystem.

OTIC

Open Testing and Integration Centre

Welcome to the Auray OTIC and Security Lab, an O-RAN ALLIANCE qualified Open Testing and Integration Centre (OTIC) in Taiwan.

We are an independent division of Auray Technology Corp., specializing in open radio network testing, information integration, test case development, and O-RAN validation services. As an impartial, third-party testing laboratory, our mission is to provide comprehensive and diverse services to our clients, including UE emulators, O-RU emulators, O-DU emulators, 5G core network emulators, engineering phones, and advanced signal generators and signal analyzers for precise testing and measurement.

Our lab fosters a collaborative, open, vendor-neutral, and impartial environment that is well-suited to clients and partners interested in testing their products and solutions. Whether your goal is to develop new products, validate solutions, or achieve higher interoperability and collaboration, our OTIC lab offers an ideal platform.

Our primary objective is to establish end-to-end interoperability and performance within O-RAN. We are dedicated to creating comprehensive test cases that align with the technical specifications and standards set by the O-RAN Alliance. As 5G Open RAN becomes increasingly central to telecom infrastructure, we are positioned to support this emerging standard as the industry’s mainstream testing framework. Auray Technology Corp. is ready to deliver high-quality O-RAN testing and validation services to clients worldwide.

O-RAN

Certification and Badging

The O-RAN Certification and Badging Program represents a comprehensive mechanism to ensure confidence in O-RAN based products and solutions for both the operator and vendor communities. Its goal is to simplify the verification and testing of products before deployment in operator networks, reduce redundant work, and promote vendor products. The O-RAN Certification and Badges are issued by OTIC laboratories recognized by the O-RAN ALLIANCE. The Auray OTIC and Security Lab provides the following O-RAN certification/badging services:

O-RAN Certification

The purpose of O-RAN certification is to verify that a vendor’s product is compliant to O-RAN specifications (O-RAN.WG4.CONF) using a set of O-RAN defined conformance tests. The O-RAN certificate is awarded to a product for one or more O-RAN specified or O-RAN profiled interfaces. It includes the following two categories:

O-RU Conformance Certificate　
O-DU Conformance Certificate

O-RAN End-to-End (E2E) Badging

The purpose of O-RAN E2E testing is to validate that an end-to-end system (across multiple vendors) or subsystem meets minimum requirements defined in the relevant O-RAN test specifications (O-RAN.TIFG.E2E-Test) in terms of functionality, security, and other mandatory end-to-end functionalities using O-RAN defined end-to-end tests. The O-RAN E2E badge is awarded to all products in the end-to-end system or subsystem.

O-RU

Conformance Testing

The testing methodology is primarily based on the Conformance Test Specification [O-RAN-WG4.CONF] published by the O-RAN ALLIANCE. The test items include verification of the correct transmission, reception, and processing of sample data for the key test items in the Management Plane (M-Plane), Control and User Plane (C/U-Plane), and Synchronization Plane (S-Plane) to ensure compliance with the specification requirements.

M-Plane Conformance Test
C/U-Plane Conformance Test
S-Plane Conformance Test

IOT

Interoperability Testing

The testing methodology is primarily based on the Interoperability Test Specification [O-RAN.WG8-IOT] published by the O-RAN ALLIANCE. The test items include verification of the correct transmission, reception, and processing of signaling for basic functions such as Cell Setup and activation, System Information parsing, and PDU session establishment, as well as data transmission performance for uplink and downlink user data transfer, to ensure compliance with the specification requirements.

Cell Setup and activation
System Information (MIB, SIB1, SIB2 and SIB3)
Registration & Deregistration Procedure
PDU Session Establishment & Modification Procedure
Downlink and Uplink UDP Data Transfer

E2E

End-to-End (E2E) Testing

The testing methodology is based on the E2E Test Specification [O-RAN.TIFG.E2E] published by the O-RAN ALLIANCE, which includes verification of uplink and downlink throughput and latency, as well as multi-device compatibility. Additionally, industry-standard performance and stress testing specifications are used. The test items cover common application services, massive user configuration behaviors, and extreme wireless environment quality with high user count stress tests to verify the advanced functionality and performance of the O-RAN equipment under test.

End-user experienced Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Application level services
Security Assurance Specification (SCAS) required by 3GPP SA
Specifies load and stress test cases which assess the stability and robustness of the gNB under loaded scenarios

5G Field
Test

5G Field Testing

This involves conducting integrated testing of 5G application services in a designated field environment prior to the deployment of 5G communication equipment/systems and demonstration of application services. The goal is to accelerate the time-to-market for 5G application services in the field.

Verify signal coverage from the cell center to the cell edge in reall field
Validate uplink and downlink throughput under different radio conditions
Verify uplink and downlink throughput variations during the handover procedure
