O-RAN Global PlugFest Spring 2026

The i14y Lab is part of the O-RAN Global PlugFest Spring 2026. This iteration of the worldwide collaborative testing fest has a focus on accelerating the maturity of products and solutions.

The testing will be all about teaming up across the Open RAN ecosystem to show how their solutions work together - picking real-world applications, setting up different test scenarios, and using a mix of equipment and services to make it all happen.

Focus of the O-RAN Global PlugFest Spring 2026 at the i14y Lab

The O-RAN Alliance has set six PlugFest themes. The i14y Lab will focus on

(Theme 2) Demonstrate consistent and repeatable open front-haul testing in multiple labs
(Theme 3) O-RAN Energy Consumption, Efficiency, and Savings Testing
(Theme 4) O-RAN E2E Deployment Templates, DevOps, and Test Automation

With the call for participation closed, the PlugFest activities - the preparations, subsequent tests, and the concluding analysis of the results - are planned to go on until May 24th.

They will be followed by the presentations and demonstration of PlugFest results and outcomes, which are planned from May 25 to May 29, 2026, followed by the publication afterward.
