There is a long-time customer of Acentury that is a Tier 1 wireless operator in a mature market. Their network environment includes many different technology vendors, multiple radio access technologies, and several frequency bands spanning 600MHz to 3500MHz.
In a typical wireless lab, there are usually many testing projects underway simultaneously. New network features, vendor firmware upgrades and device performance testing are just some examples of the competing demands on expensive lab resources.
In today's rapidly evolving telecommunications industry, characterized by advancements such as Open RAN and AI/ML applications, reproducing probable network scenarios to validate the functionality and performance of products, solutions, and policies presents a significant challenge.
The RF Test Position solution is an off-the-shelf product launched and released in late 2022 and features one of many solutions that can be derived from the LAMTA orchestration platform. Popularity of the solution increased after the COVID-19 pandemic forced lab managers to maintain business continuity without having staff on site.
