Viavi (VIAV) Partners With ETS-Lindgren for OTA Testing
Read MoreHide Full Article
Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAV - Free Report) has selected ETS-Lindgren to supply a radio frequency-shielded anechoic chamber for Massive MIMO over-the-air (OTA) testing of Open Radio Units (O-RUs) at the VIAVI Automated Lab-as-a-Service for Open RAN (VALOR). The strategic move is poised to benefit radio manufacturers targeting the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA) Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund (PWSCIF) Second Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO 2), which emphasizes O-RU commercialization and innovation.
An anechoic chamber is crucial for OTA testing, offering a controlled environment free from external electromagnetic interference. This setup will significantly enhance VALOR’s testing capabilities, enabling comprehensive system-level validation for Massive MIMO and beamforming with up to 16 parallel spatial layers. By leveraging ETS-Lindgren's expertise, VIAVI can offer superior O-RU conformance, performance, security and interoperability testing.
ETS-Lindgren, a leader in wireless OTA performance testing, brings extensive experience and advanced facilities to the collaboration. The company has a history of pioneering OTA measurement standards and operating the first CTIA Authorized Test Lab for mobile station OTA performance testing. This partnership will complement VIAVI's existing Open RAN Test Suite, especially in OTA testing of O-RUs and end-to-end testing of Open RAN base stations.
VIAVI’s VALOR, supported by a $21.7-million grant from the first PWSCIF NOFO, provides a fully automated, open and impartial testing environment dedicated to Open RAN interoperability and performance. This facility is designed to support 5G and Open RAN deployments with minimal ramp-up time, benefiting startups, new entrants and academic institutions with free access, subject to availability.
By integrating ETS-Lindgren's advanced facilities, VIAVI aims to accelerate O-RU commercialization and innovation, setting a new standard in testing and certification methodologies. This collaboration underscores VIAVI's commitment to advancing wireless technology and supporting the ecosystem through cutting-edge testing solutions.
The stock has lost 38.7% over the past year against the industry’s rise of 65.7%.
