5G RAN / distributed unit

gNB DU Testing for reliable distributed RAN delivery.

Assure the F1 interface, resource coordination and lower-layer RAN procedures that enable consistent 5G service at the edge.

Assurance coverage

Test the procedures that make a disaggregated RAN work.

Run focused DU validation with repeatable F1 signalling scenarios and exact procedure-level assertions.

01 / F1

F1 setup & reset

Verify DU availability, setup, reset and recovery paths against the CU control plane.

02 / UE CONTEXT

Context management

Test setup, modification and release coordination for UE contexts and associated radio resources.

03 / RAN FLOW

Resource coordination

Qualify expected resource and bearer procedures as configuration or software changes are introduced.
