Nokia Stresses Need for ORAN Testbeds in Call With FCC's Rosenworcel

Nokia representatives cited the importance of open radio access networks in a call with acting FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, said a filing Friday in docket 18-89. Reps recommended the government “do more than fund basic research by investing in testbeds” as “testbeds can simulate real-world network deployment scenarios wherein issues like performance and security can be studied across the types of scenarios that will be encountered when O-RAN is introduced into previously deployed, multi-generation networks.” Rosenworcel backs ORAN for 5G security (see 2009140054).
