VIAVI Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ:VIAV) today announced that it has added colocation capability to its VIAVI Automated Lab-as-a-Service for Open RAN (VALOR™) facility to address the increased demand for comprehensive testing from Open RAN customers. Based in Chandler, Arizona, VALOR is funded by the U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund (PWSCIF).

 

As an alternative to its on-demand customer labs, VALOR's colocation model offers more flexibility and capacity. Customers can access the lab for a longer period and conduct comprehensive testing throughout the product lifecycle with a semi-permanent setup. Network data in the lab is segregated using VLANs to ensure secure, isolated environments for each customer's testing requirements, ensuring optimal performance and data integrity across various testing scenarios.
