The O1 Interface is a logical connection between all “O-RAN Managed Elements (MEs)” and the “management entities” within the SMO framework. The purpose of the O1 interface is to ensure the operation and management e.g. FCAPS, Software Management, and file management of the O-RAN components. In other words, we can…

|This story is basically how I would explain it to anyone.| We usually take the PCAP(Packet capture) from the CU worker node where the Control plane is running. When RAN is being deployed, we usually follow the sequence where we deploy CUCP 1st, which will be talking to AMF for…

Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines is a cloud-native, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) solution based on Kubernetes resources. It uses Tekton building blocks to automate deployments across multiple platforms by abstracting away the underlying implementation details. …
