Berlin 6G Conference Agenda

Tutorial: Energy Efficiency Measurement in O-RAN

Sept 8 - Sept 10

Come by our booth at the Berlin 6G Conference.

Come and talk to us about our wins, insights, and challenges testing RAN hardware and software—from O-RU to RIC.

See a full live demo of the i14y Lab Energy Testing setup. See our setup and understand how different scenarios affect the energy consumption of the SUT.
Get in-depth insights into our work as the independent test lab partner of the OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation’s Open-Source RAN stack and our continued work with SRS.

Without open source, 6G and AI will not work in mobile networks, and with 6G and AI, development cycles for mobile networks will be so much faster that you need a new kind of testing: the kind we are working on—come talk to us!
