$2M Award for Developing Cutting-Edge Testing Technology for 5G Open RAN

ECE Principal Research Scientist Pedram Johari is leading a $2M project awarded by the Wireless Innovation Fund to develop a digital framework for testing 5G Open RAN systems called “DigiRAN: High-Fidelity Digital Twins for Interoperability, Security and Performance Testing of Open RAN Systems.” DigiRAN is a digital framework that enables diverse, low-cost, and automated testing of three core components for 5G Open RAN: interoperability, performance, and security. ECE Professor Tommaso Melodia, Assistant Research Professor Salvatore D’Oro, Associate Research Scientist Leonardo Bonati, and Assistant Research Professor Michele Polese will also be collaborating on this project.
