This virtual meeting will draw on participants' experience to improve the Open RAN test plans. Topics to be considered include standardizing requirements, specifying test equipment configurations, developing automation, and vetting the plans by performing quality assurance at various international labs. Our goal is to iteratively improve the test plans to meet operator needs and incorporate practical knowledge of labs who have used various test equipment configurations.
Lincoln Lavoie, UNH-IOL, will be modering the next virtual meeting on August 20th "Improving Test Plans"

The International Open RAN Symposia (IORS) provides a forum, via email lists, virtual meetings, and face-to-face meetings, for Open RAN experts to exchange information, work together on common goals, and create a community of practice for consistent, repeatable, Open RAN testing.
No admittance fees. Registration closes 2 weeks before each event. If you have questions, contact IORS directly at iors@ntia.gov.
