VIAVI Solutions Inc. introduced a colocation capability at its VALOR Lab-as-a-Service facility in Chandler, Arizona. This upgrade aims to meet rising demand for comprehensive testing services from Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) (RAN) customers. Funded by the U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration's Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund, the facility now offers enhanced flexibility and capacity for clients.

The new colocation model allows customers to access the lab for longer durations, enabling thorough testing over the entire product lifecycle. Network data segregation via VLANs will maintain secure, isolated testing environments, ensuring optimal performance.

“We are excited to introduce this new colocation offering at VALOR. With two available engagement models, VALOR can now service both vendors who are looking for specific tests during the development and pre-certification process, as well as those seeking longer-term, comprehensive end-to-end and scalable testing,” said Erik Probstfield, Senior Director at VIAVI.

This framework aligns with the goals of the NTIA and PWSCIF, enhancing the development of open wireless infrastructure. The lab also provides additional resources including RF chamber capabilities for testing Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and beamforming performance, utilizing VIAVI’s NITRO Wireless Open RAN (ORAN) Test Suite.

The VALOR Lab continues to support the growth of ORAN technology vendors, reducing the risks associated with in-house testing infrastructures. This allows for quicker deployment and fewer upfront investments for companies in the sector.
