About this update from Viavi Solutions Inc.

[{"type":"text","content":"CHANDLER, Ariz., and STEVENAGE, England, Sept. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced that the company is part of three consortia that have won funding in the Open Networks Ecosystem (ONE) competition sponsored by the U.K. Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). VIAVI and partners submitted successful bids for HiPer-RAN led by University of Surrey, REACH led by University of York, and ARIANE led by Telecom Infra Project (TIP).\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nDSIT has awarded £88 million for organizations to develop a range of software and hardware products that will enable enhanced development and adoption of open and interoperable technology and demonstrate Open RAN technologies in high-demand environments.\nVIAVI participated in the following winning bids:\nHiPer-RAN (Highly Intelligent, Highly Performing RAN) – Aims to develop a highly efficient, secure, and scalable Open RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) framework with conflict resolution capabilities between its intelligent modules, and the ability to withstand external malicious attacks. VIAVI will contribute to building the cyber security framework by developing an intelligent, resilient, and reliable solution defining non-real time and near-real time RIC-aware threat models, monitoring signals through the interfaces, and training the hybrid Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). HiPer-RAN will also target the development of a flexible, RIC-aware, physical layer (PHY) that accounts for the O-RU and O-DU design parameters and processing capabilities to enable high-performance, energy efficient, and low latency operation at a system level. VIAVI will lead the work on integration, testing, deployment and trial of the entire HiPer-RAN solution for a number of scenarios and use cases.REACH (RIC-Enabled (CF-)mMIMO for HDD) – This project will tackle the challenges of a High Demand Density (HDD) network featuring small-cell technology, massive MIMO (mMIMO) and Cell-Free massive MIMO (CF-mMIMO) applications by developing xApps and rApps for the RIC that can control small cell activation, power control, mMIMO beam deployment, CF-mMIMO RU control and signal shaping, heterogeneous cell structures, spectrum usage and energy efficiency, while dealing with mobility and handover management.
