Purpose

Duplicate the environment of OSC Lab. in New Jersey.

Focus on O-DU integration 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.
  • 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).

Contact:     Professor Ray-Guang Cheng, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST)
