Acentury

Acentury is delighted to be participating in the O-RAN ALLIANCE technology demos featuring the latest improvements to open and intelligent Radio Access Networks (RAN) at MWC Barcelona 26-29 February 2024. Many of the demos will also be included in the O-RAN Virtual Exhibition, expected to be available at the start of MWC.

The latest products and components based on O-RAN specifications will demonstrate improved efficiency, security, interoperability, and vendor independence for mobile network operators. Examples include machine learning models for network load balancing, orchestrating applications’ requests for network resources, and private network management.

Acentury will be presenting OMERA, a zero-touch O-RAN deployment automation solution that enables mobile network operators and integrators to rapidly configure and deploy multi-vendor sites from a single tool.

Designed to expedite the configuration and deployment of multi-vendor O-RAN sites, OMERA streamlines the deployment process while providing powerful flexibility and control. Benefits that can be realized include:

• Improved Efficiency: Accelerates network design and planning processes, reducing deployment timelines.
• Streamlined Deployment: Simplifies the configuration and deployment of O-RAN network elements, minimizing manual intervention.
• Multi-Vendor Support: Offers compatibility with a wide range of vendors, ensuring flexibility and choice for operators.

There will be 41 technology demos planned at MWC 2024 and participating companies from the O-RAN ALLIANCE community include the following: Acentury, AMD, Anritsu, Artiza Networks, AsiaInfo, Asia & Pacific OTIC in Singapore (APOS), Auray Technology, Azcom, Calnex Solutions, Capgemini, CommScope, EANTC, Ericsson, Fujitsu, EURECOM, Future Connections, Groundhog, HCL Technologies, Intel, ITRI, Juniper Networks, Keysight Technologies, Lenovo, LitePoint, LITEON Technology, Malaga University, Metanoia Communication, Net AI, Picocom, Quanta Cloud Technology, Rimedo Labs, Rohde & Schwarz, SageRAN, Samsung, Shabodi, Simnovus, Spirent Communications, Supermicro, SynaXG Technologies, Singapore University of Technology and Design, VIAVI Solutions, Viettel, VMware, Wiwynn and WNC.

Transforming RF Testing with Software Orchestration Solutions

Acentury will also be exhibiting at the Canadian pavilion (Hall 7, Booth 7G61) during MWC 2024 to demonstrate the latest release of LAMTA’s RF lab orchestration platform. LAMTA centralizes RF signal distribution and attenuation control and streamlines complex test scenarios such as handovers with MIMO and Carrier Aggregation.

By virtually eliminating test setup and teardown times, LAMTA empowers engineers to focus on analysis and optimization, rather than logistical challenges. Key features of LAMTA 24.1 include:

• UE Call Scripting: Enables automated testing scenarios, improving efficiency and repeatability.
• Resource Scheduling: Optimizes resource utilization, ensuring maximum productivity.
• Xena Chimera Integration: Allows for precise control of network impairment emulation, facilitating realistic testing environments.
