For a certificate or badge for your OFH O-RU, O-DU, O-CU or RIC to matter, it needs to be issued by an independent, vendor-neutral third party. And one that has a proven track record of providing reliable results. Like the i14y Lab in Berlin.
Certification ensures that a product fully complies with O-RAN standards through rigorous testing by accredited labs. Badging signifies that a product has been tested for specific interoperability or performance standards in O-RAN-recognized testing centers (OTICs).
To certify that your O-RU is compliant to O-RAN specifications, chose this option.
Tests include:
Our team will guide you through the process and execute the tests, and you will benefit from our standardized and automated test setups. A full test report will be issued after the tests.
After successfully passing the tests, your product will be awarded the O-RAN Alliance Certificate.
Prices for any additional engineering or consulting support are available on request, if for example you wish to discuss the results in more detail with our team.
To validate that an end-to-end system or as subsystem in an end-to-end meets the requirements on functionality and security of the O-RAN Alliance specification, chose this option.
The tests include
Our team will guide you through the process and execute the tests, and you will benefit from our standardized and automated test setups. A full test report will be issued after the tests.
Integration efforts and troubleshooting during the tests may incur additional costs.

AirHop Communications has earned the TIP Silver badge for their rApp after rigorous testing at the i14y Lab, meeting stringent Deutsche Telekom requirements. This recognition highlights the rApp’s effectiveness in a key RAN Intelligent Controller optimization use case. Deutsche Telekom's Holger Erkens praised the rigorous assessment process, while i14y Lab's Andreas Gladisch emphasized the importance of robust testing for open RAN success.
We have asked partners and customers what they think about their badging and certification experience at the i14y Lab:
We are an Open Test and Integration Center (OTIC), qualified by the O-RAN Alliance. And we are an authorized TIP lab. One of the few labs worldwide that are indeed both. Talk to us for your Open RAN testing needs.
