O’Prueba’s One ORANge Test Platform
With a focus on network communication automation test solutions and information security technology services, O’Prueba Technology Inc. recently collaborated with NEXCOM, a major Taiwan-based industrial computer manufacturer, to facilitate the testing and validation of NEXCOM new 5G Gateway DTA1164W.
Based on the international standards of the O-RAN Alliance and 3GPP Release 15, One ORANge was designed as a universal 5G test platform for 5G white-box devices with a virtualized architecture. This time, the team at O’Prueba conducted a variety of 5G application-level verifications for NEXCOM’s DTA1164W, ensuring that the device operates efficiently in a private network and verifying that the actual operation meets the requirements of 5G transmission performance.
The DTA1164W functioned normally in both SA (standalone) and NSA (non-standalone) environments in the 5G private network setting. The DTA1164W's uplink (UL) speed was proven to be 32Mbps and downlink (DL) speed was up to 498Mpbs. For example, the DL speed of the device allows at least 125 users to stream 1080P HD videos and audios simultaneously, which is in line with the required traffic for 5G applications. In addition, based on the results of the test, O’Prueba provided product optimization suggestions to improve the performance of the device in response to changes in the 5G field.
NEXCOM’s DTA1164W is designed to meet the huge data traffic on 5G IT networks, such as multiparty video communication for smooth webinars or uninterrupted viewing of web videos (Netfilx or Youtube), with high performance and flexibility. It is understood that DTA1164W will be quickly introduced to many 5G terminal operators and equipment vendors in Taiwan and abroad after the completion of testing.
According to O’Prueba, providing stable network performance testing and preventive information security verification are key to the development of 5G devices, while quality of user experience (QoE) has an even greater impact on the competitiveness of 5G device manufacturers. Therefore, in addition to enabling device manufacturers to evaluate the compliance of their products with the standards, O’Prueba focuses on client experience during testing to ensure that the functionality provided by a device is able to optimize user experience.
One the other hand, in terms of the security of 5G, SMS interception, denial of service, and other potential security threats existed in the past will still be present in 5G. What is more, the rise of 5G open architecture, while not only making it easier to procure and upgrade telecom equipment but also offering significant business opportunities with the decoupling of hardware, software, and open interfaces, increases the number of security threats. In this regard, O’Prueba has mastered the key technologies of the 5G information security standard proposed by the 3GPP international standards organization and built Taiwan's first SCAS information security assurance platform to guard the information security of 5G infrastructures.
O’Prueba is dedicated to helping 5G equipment manufacturers and their 5G mobile network service providers overcome new technical challenges and accelerate the validation of WiFi 6 and Sub-6 GHz 5G technologies. This year, O’Prueba has received inquiries from dozens of major networking companies for the One ORANge automated test solutions and has already received orders from at least five major companies for a series of collaborations on product quality and SCAS information security assurance.
O’Prueba believes that 5G will continue to expand its influence from start-ups all the way up to giant enterprises, driving the development of the 5G market in Taiwan.
