Company's test and optimization portfolio
supports Software Solutions for Industry Verticals and Integration
Automation
CHANDLER, Ariz., Jan. 15,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VIAVI Solutions
Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today introduced the TeraVM AI RAN
Scenario Generator (AI RSG), the evolution of the company's
market-leading RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) Test platform.
Maintaining all of the features of RIC Test, the AI RSG enhances
the simulated system-level RAN behavior, creating a RAN digital
twin that replicates real-world conditions in the lab. The AI RSG
joins a test and optimization portfolio that is ideally suited
to the needs of platform and application developers planning to bid
for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration
(NTIA) Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund (PWSCIF)
Third Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO 3), which focuses on
Software Solutions for Industry Verticals and Integration
Automation.
The RIC uses artificial intelligence and machine learning
(AI/ML) to autonomously manage radio resources with the aid of
network data and native or third-party applications. Applications
can be developed for specific industry verticals to tailor network
functionality for more targeted use cases. The complexity of a
multi-vendor open network is compounded by the presence of apps
from different developers, making seamless performance a
challenge.
AI RSG harnesses data obtained through Open RAN interfaces to
train the RIC and r/xApps to generate quality-of-service
improvements, industry-specific features and functionality, energy
efficiencies and other value for network operators. It can simulate
up to 10,000 user equipment (UEs) and several thousand cells
(between 1,000 and 5,000) per reference server. It can be deployed
in Docker containers within cloud environments or on dedicated
servers. The scale depends on the specific use case, with the
ability to generate data at various granularities, from one minute
to daily intervals. The scalability matrix helps define parameters
for different scenarios.
Users can:
- Import real-world maps with streets, buildings, and network
configurations to create UE profiles that simulate movements,
handovers, and resource requests
- Train AI and ML apps through exposure to RAN scenarios with
real traffic
- Test the effectiveness of app decisions in realistic network
environments.
AI RSG complements a broader suite of test and optimization
expertise and solutions to strengthen proposals for NOFO 3.
Additional offerings include:
- Access to VIAVI Automated Lab-as-a-Service for Open RAN
(VALOR™), funded by the Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation
Fund to streamline 5G and Open RAN deployments with expert tools,
skilled staff and minimal ramp-up time
- Geolocation enablement for r/xApps enhances RIC/SMO with
precise, continuous geolocation insights and subscriber-centric
data, driving smarter decision-making
- Field-proven expertise – successful deployment of Open RAN
testing solutions with major operators worldwide in full compliance
with TIP, 3GPP, and O-RAN ALLIANCE specifications.
"As the only test and optimization vendor awarded PWSCIF funding
through NOFO 1 and a partner of choice for NOFO 2, VIAVI is honored
to have the NTIA's trust," said Dr. Sameh Yamany, Chief Technology
Officer, VIAVI. "For over 100 years, VIAVI has been directly
involved in testing, assuring and securing the largest
communications networks around the globe, and validating network
products for all Tier-1 network equipment manufacturers. We are the
prospective partner of choice to leverage network data and AI/ML to
optimize network operations."
