Insights
The TeraVM AI RAN Scenario Generator represents a significant technological advancement in RAN testing capabilities. The ability to simulate up to 10,000 UEs and 5,000 cells per reference server marks a substantial leap in testing scale. For investors, this translates to VIAVI strengthening its competitive position in the rapidly growing Open RAN market.
The integration with NTIA's PWSCIF program positions VIAVI strategically in the U.S. government's push for secure, domestic telecommunications infrastructure. The Lab-as-a-Service (VALOR) offering, already funded through PWSCIF, demonstrates the company's strong relationship with federal initiatives, potentially leading to sustained government contracts.
In simpler terms, imagine this as a highly sophisticated flight simulator for 5G networks - it allows operators to test and perfect their network operations in a virtual environment before deploying in the real world, significantly reducing risks and costs.
From a market perspective, VIAVI's timing is impeccable. The Open RAN market is projected to grow significantly, with operators worldwide seeking solutions for multi-vendor network integration. The AI RSG addresses a critical pain point in the industry - the complexity of testing and validating AI/ML applications in Open RAN environments.
The company's century-long experience and existing relationships with Tier-1 network equipment manufacturers provide a strong foundation for market expansion. The Docker container deployment option aligns with modern cloud-native preferences, making the solution more attractive to potential customers.
Think of this as VIAVI building a universal translator for different network components to communicate effectively, while also providing a testing ground to ensure everything works perfectly before going live.
Company's test and optimization portfolio supports Software Solutions for Industry Verticals and Integration Automation
The RIC uses artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to autonomously manage radio resources with the aid of network data and native or third-party applications. Applications can be developed for specific industry verticals to tailor network functionality for more targeted use cases. The complexity of a multi-vendor open network is compounded by the presence of apps from different developers, making seamless performance a challenge.
AI RSG harnesses data obtained through Open RAN interfaces to train the RIC and r/xApps to generate quality-of-service improvements, industry-specific features and functionality, energy efficiencies and other value for network operators. It can simulate up to 10,000 user equipment (UEs) and several thousand cells (between 1,000 and 5,000) per reference server. It can be deployed in Docker containers within cloud environments or on dedicated servers. The scale depends on the specific use case, with the ability to generate data at various granularities, from one minute to daily intervals. The scalability matrix helps define parameters for different scenarios.
Users can:
- Import real-world maps with streets, buildings, and network configurations to create UE profiles that simulate movements, handovers, and resource requests
- Train AI and ML apps through exposure to RAN scenarios with real traffic
- Test the effectiveness of app decisions in realistic network environments.
AI RSG complements a broader suite of test and optimization expertise and solutions to strengthen proposals for NOFO 3. Additional offerings include:
- Access to VIAVI Automated Lab-as-a-Service for Open RAN (VALOR™), funded by the Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund to streamline 5G and Open RAN deployments with expert tools, skilled staff and minimal ramp-up time
- Geolocation enablement for r/xApps enhances RIC/SMO with precise, continuous geolocation insights and subscriber-centric data, driving smarter decision-making
- Field-proven expertise – successful deployment of Open RAN testing solutions with major operators worldwide in full compliance with TIP, 3GPP, and O-RAN ALLIANCE specifications.
"As the only test and optimization vendor awarded PWSCIF funding through NOFO 1 and a partner of choice for NOFO 2, VIAVI is honored to have the NTIA's trust," said Dr. Sameh Yamany, Chief Technology Officer, VIAVI. "For over 100 years, VIAVI has been directly involved in testing, assuring and securing the largest communications networks around the globe, and validating network products for all Tier-1 network equipment manufacturers. We are the prospective partner of choice to leverage network data and AI/ML to optimize network operations."
