ORAN 23.4 continues to build on our O-RAN testing capabilities across all the network functions and configurations. This includes key capabilities such as user plane ciphering & integrity protection and emergency services for CU testing. For RIC testing, 23.4 introduces the O1 interface for non-RT RIC testing, while continuing to build on the E2 interface for near-RT RIC testing. Spirent O-RU test solution version 23.4 is the industry’s first and only “wraparound” solution that enables you to perform application layer testing of the O-RU in an O-RAN architecture. All of the solution’s components are real-time state machine emulators that implement from the physical layer to the application layers in 3GPP. Using the O-RU test solution, you can benchmark O-RU performance under different conditions, configurations, and live scenarios. This release aims to support: Carriers, SI, and OEMs
