Open RAN Studio for O-RU Testing and Validation

Open RAN Studio includes powerful O-RAN focused tools to construct, play, capture, and measure O-RAN traffic over Ethernet fronthaul interfaces. Optional extraction of IQ vectors enables modulation analysis with Keysight 89600 VSA software.

Sub system simulated O-Gnb, O-DU
Test types O-RU fronthaul
Interfaces supported OFH

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

Highlights

Support for split option 7.2x (O-RU categories A & B), compliant stimulus generation and response analysis, as well as measurement of O-RAN traffic over 10 Gbps / 25 Gbps /50 Gbps (fronthaul) Ethernet interfaces​

  • Fully automated generation of Ethernet based O-RAN Control, User, Management and Synchronization-plane messages with eCPRI transport encapsulation types compliant with ORAN-WG4.CUS.0-v13.00​ and O-RAN.WG4.MP.0-R003-v13.00
  • Out of the box integration with Keysight’s signal generation as well as VSA software for 5G NR and LTE standards. ​
  • Quick configuration and generation of 5G NR and LTE single or multi-carrier compliant FDD and TDD waveforms​
  • Real-time FrameID generation and CRC Calculation​
  • Analysis of both FR1 and FR2 radio downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) paths​
  • Configuration of O-RAN Sections types and Section Extensions​
  • Support for Beamforming​
  • Support for M-plane configuration​
  • Capture and accurate timestamping of O-RAN responses​
  • Visualization and full decoding of O-RAN traces with flow-based filtering​
  • Open RAN Studio enables stimulus signal creation with easy capture, extraction, and export of IQ vectors – for advanced modulation analysis of received RF / mmWave signals to test O-RU performance. When combined with Keysight spectrum analyzers and signal sources, the integrated Open RAN Studio solution delivers the most comprehensive cross domain, multi-channel RF / mmWave and O-RAN protocol measurements available in the industry, for both FR1 and FR2 radios, downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) paths.
