What are the key T&M solutions VIAVI is showcasing at IMC this year?

VIAVI is showcasing its groundbreaking solutions in the following areas:

• 5G and Open RAN. Market-leading 5G and Open RAN test and validation solutions for conformance, performance and interoperability of O-RU, O-CU, O-DU, RIC and Core elements – available in the lab, through the cloud or as a service.

• Cell Site Installation and Network Monitoring.

VIAVI OneAdvisor 800 equip technicians and contractors to deliver smart, fault-free cell site installation and maintenance. Optical Network Management System (ONMSi) accurately detects and locates fiber degradation, alerting operators with the details of faults. NITRO® Fiber Sensing swiftly identifies and pinpoints threats for critical infrastructure ranging from oil, gas and water pipelines to electrical power transmission, border/perimeter security and data center interconnects.

• Network Security. Open Fronthaul security test, specifications tests (SCAS, 3GPP), 5G Core firewall security, PQC test solutions, part of the NITRO® Wireless Security Suite.

• 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) Validation. The comprehensive VIAVI NTN suite overcomes the technical challenges of 5G NTN, providing assurance that new NTN constellations perform reliably while conforming to 3GPP Release 18 and beyond. You can evaluate with a Digital Twin, test with real devices (gNB or UE), and confidently deploy with OTA test (in orbit).
