The VIAVI TestCenter 5G Fronthaul Bundle for AION provides O‑DU and O‑RU emulation using O‑RAN and eCPRI to support the industry’s transition to open, virtualized radio access networks. As operators and manufacturers adopt O‑RAN to reduce deployment costs and encourage multi‑vendor innovation, the bundle enables comprehensive testing of interoperable, software‑based RAN architectures. It supports virtualization by shifting radio functions from dedicated hardware to software on generic compute platforms, allowing users to validate performance, scalability, and behavior of fronthaul interfaces in next‑generation, cost‑efficient, and agile mobile networks.
