Airspan Networks says it has successfully conducted 5G and Open RAN interoperability in CBRS spectrum, including establishing 5G calls, data upload and download tests, link adaption, the ability of the system to recover from a radio link failure and mobility tests.
The interoperability tests used a mobile test device with a Snapdragon X60 5G modem-RF system, connected to Airspan’s Open RAN 5G platform (OpenRANGE), including Radio Units (RUs), Distributed Units (DUs) and Centralized Units (CUs). Airspan said that the test set-up included its AirVelocity indoor solution and AirSpeed outdoor solution, and that the testing covered both lab and over-the-air field trials.
