Introduction of AI-Powered RAN Scenario Generator
Further solidifying its technological leadership, Viavi recently unveiled the TeraVM AI RAN Scenario Generator (AI RSG), an advanced evolution of its RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) Test platform. This innovation enhances simulated system-level RAN behavior, creating a digital twin that accurately replicates real-world network conditions within laboratory environments.
The AI RSG is particularly relevant for platform and application developers targeting the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund (PWSCIF) Third Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO 3). This funding opportunity focuses on software solutions for industry verticals and integration automation, areas where Viavi’s expertise is well-established.
Advancing Open RAN and AI-Driven Network Optimization
Utilizing Open RAN interfaces, the AI RSG is designed to train the RIC and r/xApps, enabling improvements in quality of service, industry-specific functionalities, energy efficiency, and network optimization. It is capable of simulating up to 10,000 user equipment (UEs) and thousands of network cells, making it a powerful tool for large-scale network testing and validation.
As the sole test and optimization vendor to receive PWSCIF funding under NOFO 1 and a key partner in NOFO 2, Viavi has garnered the trust of the NTIA. The company continues to play a critical role in testing, securing, and validating major global communication networks, reinforcing its position as a preferred partner for leveraging AI and machine learning to enhance network performance.
