What's Inside

The rapid evolution of Open RAN technology is transforming the telecommunications landscape and enabling open, interoperable, and standardized components to be used as part of the network infrastructure.

In this white paper, learn how VIAVI Automated Lab-as-a-Service (VALOR™),  funded by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), validated Battelle's RavenStar™ technology, a software-defined radio platform with massive MIMO capabilities and advanced beamforming for use across the FR1 band.

Using VALOR’s hybrid Lab-as-a-Service model, Battelle has both validated the RavenStar SDR technology capabilities and reduced the risk for operators when adding new Open RAN equipment to the network.
