First product validated at the VALOR lab's new RF-shielded anechoic chamber, /PRNewswire/ -- VIAVI Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced that Metanoia Communications Inc.'s JURA Open Radio Unit (O-RU) has successfully completed end-to-end over-the-air (OTA) validation at the VIAVI Automated Lab-as-a-Service (VALOR™). It is the first product to be validated at the lab's new RF-shielded anechoic chamber to ensure compliance with O-RAN and 3GPP specifications. Metanoia’s O-RU Successfully Completes End-to-End OTA Validation at VALOR RF Anechoic Chamber VALOR is an automated Lab-as-a-Service for Open RAN testing and is funded by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund. The VALOR lab officially opened on October 7, 2024 in Chandler, Arizona, with the RF chamber and two additional customer labs added to the facility on April 3, 2025. Metanoia's O-RU underwent end-to-end performance validation to ensure seamless integration into Open RAN networks, with tests using reference O-CU and O-DU components provided by VALOR and its partners. Tests were conducted over the air within the RF chamber, with VALOR evaluating key performance metrics under realistic radio conditions. Additionally, O-RAN end-to-end functional and performance validation was carried out based on O-RAN TIFG-defined test cases. These tests assessed the system's behavior across the control, user, and management planes, ensuring compliance with key O-RAN architectural and performance requirements in an integrated multi-vendor DU/RU setup. "The successful validation of Metanoia's O-RU using the new anechoic chamber is an important milestone for VIAVI and the VALOR lab," said Erik Probstfield, Senior Director, VALOR, VIAVI. "Open RAN-based systems are set to significantly increase telecoms innovation, but a network is far too complex an environment to rely on trust alone. VALOR, especially with its OTA testing, allows companies such as Metanoia to independently validate the functionality and performance of their hardware, and gives network operators assurance that it will integrate seamlessly into their existing networks.""Metanoia is proud to remain at the forefront of 5G innovation, building on our longstanding partnership with VIAVI's VALOR Lab," said Didier Boivin, Executive Vice President, Metanoia. "The state-of-the-art OTA chamber, coupled with the company's extensive testing experience, represent an invaluable resource as we advance our leadership in the Open RAN ecosystem."Metanoia's JURA O-RU is a 4T4R 24dbm 5G FR1 radio unit that supports operation in the sub-6 GHz bands using TDD duplexing. It harnesses the power of its advanced Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform to deliver a flexible, high-performance Open RAN solution for 5G deployments. By combining powerful hardware acceleration with open-source adaptability, JURA O-RU facilitates efficiency and innovation in next-generation wireless networks.The VALOR RF chamber is the industry's first Test-as-a-Service offering for Massive MIMO and beamforming OTA validation. It creates a controlled environment that is free from outside interference and emulates multiple real-world scenarios by sending wireless signals to understand a device's behavior. Created in partnership with ETS-Lindgren, services offered include system-level Massive MIMO performance testing for up to 16 parallel spatial layers.VALOR enables independent and impartial interoperability, performance, and security testing leveraging VIAVI's industry-leading NITRO Wireless Open RAN Test Suite and  the VAMOS unified framework for hybrid physical and cloud-based testing. Customers can access over 500 test cases compliant with O-RAN WG4, WG5, WG11, TIFG, and 3GPP specifications. VALOR facilitates better readiness for the certification, badging, and acceptance tests at OTICs and CSP labs. It provides services to members of the AI-RAN Alliance and customers referred to the lab by AT&T and Verizon's ACCoRD, and is the first test service to be authorized by the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) for its system performance certification program.About VIAVIVIAVI (NASDAQ: VIAV) is a global provider of network test, monitoring and assurance solutions for telecommunications, cloud, enterprises, first responders, military, aerospace and railway.
