Emulation tools for verifying disaggregated 5G and ORAN infrastructure

Keysight ORAN solutions precisely emulate all major ORAN components: RU, CU/DU, 5G Core, and RIC. They enable functional, performance, and interoperability testing with real-world traffic and protocols. Replace 5G network parts with known-good components to isolate performance/conformance. Capture/replay traffic to validate open fronthaul, F1, E2, and core interfaces with ORAN Studio. Verify timing/MIMO sync (Time Sync Analyzer), emulate 5G core (CoreSIM), test NFV (LoadCore), or perform full RAN validation (DuSIM, RuSIM, RIC emulators).

Emulate every ORAN component

Simulate O-RUs, O-DUs, O-CUs, and the 5G Core with protocol-conformant behavior across fronthaul and midhaul interfaces to validate network interoperability and integration.

Generate realistic user and control traffic

Create thousands of concurrent voice, data, and signaling sessions with support for mobility, quality of experience (QoE) modeling, and protocol stack behaviors to stress the RAN under real-world conditions.

Capture and replay fronthaul interfaces

Record and play back live fronthaul traffic using Open RAN Studio to verify time-sensitive behavior, identify regressions, and debug interface-level performance issues with high fidelity.

Verify interface and protocol compliance

Run automated conformance tests for open fronthaul, F1, E2, and other ORAN interfaces to ensure standards adherence, vendor interoperability, and test repeatability.

Sub system simulated O-Gnb, O-RU, O-DU, O-CU, RIC, Core Network, RF air interface
Test types O-DU southbound, O-DU+O-CU southbound, O-CU southbound, O-DU northbound, Near RT RIC/xApps, Non-RT More…
Interfaces supported OFH, F1, E2, A1, O1, Backhaul, RF air interface
