VIAVI Joins the OpenAirInterface Software Alliance as Strategic Member

Key Facts

• VIAVI participation adds a test equipment provider to the OSA board and opens a new chapter in the relationship that OSA maintains with the O-RAN ALLIANCE and the open RAN stakeholders.
• OpenAirInterface (OAI), known for its pioneering efforts in open-source software for 4G and 5G networks has recently assumed a key role in the path towards multivendor open RAN solutions by providing its O-CU and O-DU software for interoperability with the O-RUs from the industrial partners.
• This role, visible in O-RAN plugfests and other reference design showcases, is expected to significantly advance through this engagement with VIAVI, as a professional testing company's software can be constantly leveraged to improve the quality of the OAI open source components.
• "VIAVI is excited to partner with OSA in advancing the state-of-the-art open source software for 5G/O-RAN/6G networks," said Dr. Ian Wong, Director of RF and Wireless Architecture at VIAVI and co-chair of the Test and Integration Focus Group at the O-RAN ALLIANCE.
