Wireless backhaul provider Ceragon Networks says it has been selected by Brazilian carrier TIM to participate in the joint work being carried out with the Telecom Infra-Project (TIP) and the National Telecommunication Institute (INATEL) to test providers for 5G Open RAN (O-RAN).
The open field trial will take place on the INATEL campus, in Minas Gerais state, and will incorporate software and hardware vendors, operators, university members and members of the TIP working groups. The trials aim to test and validate different combinations of O-RAN components from various suppliers and their performance under conditions similar to that of a commercial network.
