At the 2020 O‑RAN Alliance Plugfest, VIAVI and partners demonstrated an end‑to‑end traffic steering use case using open‑source components, including the near real‑time RAN Intelligent Controller, or RIC. Central to the demo was the VIAVI TeraVM O‑RAN RIC Tester, a virtualized tool that helps developers validate RIC functionality. The RIC plays a key role in open networks by enabling intelligent control and optimization of RAN behavior. As operators explore available RIC products, thorough testing with tools like TeraVM ensures smooth development, integration, and deployment across open RAN environments.
