From Lab to Field: How Viavi Solutions Powers Open RAN Innovation

In this interview from #MWC25, Ian Wong, Senior Director of RF and Wireless at Viavi Solutions and co-chair of the O-RAN Alliance Test Group, explains how Viavi is helping the telecom industry overcome some of Open RAN’s toughest challenges. From validating complex Massive MIMO systems to emulating real-world network conditions with digital twins, Viavi is accelerating Open RAN development through cutting-edge test solutions.

Their AI-powered VAMOS (Viavi Automated Management and Orchestration System) simplifies compliance with O-RAN and 3GPP standards, running entire test suites with a single click. Viavi is also innovating beyond the lab, with a portable O-DU emulator that allows field teams to verify radio installations before deploying the full RAN, helping operators cut costs and reduce deployment time.
