Purpose

Duplicate the environment of OSC Lab. in New Jersey.

Focus on E2E integration of OSC/OAI projects and security tests.

Status

• O-DU integration is the top priority. O-DU-Low and O-DU High Integration (I Rel.) with Intel and Radisys are ongoing.
• Installation of Radisys O-CU Binary is ongoing.
• VIAVI TM500 is available.
• VIAVI RIC Test is ready to use.

Access

Access is limited, and resource sharing is not yet available.

For lab access, please e-mail the lab contact; provide your name, email, business affiliation, and reason for access. This is often in relation to an OSC project (Projects)  and therefore is facilitated through the Project Technical Lead (PTL).
