Customer Benefits

VALOR Lab in Chandler, Arizona

At the VALOR lab, we provide an on-demand test suite. In addition, leveraging golden O-RAN compliant O-RUs, O-DUs and O-CUs provided by several reputable partners and a large RF anechoic chamber, VALOR offers Massive MIMO and beamforming over-the-air (OTA) validation including system-level Massive MIMO performance testing for up to 16 parallel spatial layers.

Watch the video to learn more about the RF chamber, which is provided by ETS-Lindgren. The RF chamber is the industry’s first test-as-a-service offering for Massive MIMO and beamforming OTA validation, including system-level Massive MIMO performance testing for up to 16 parallel spatial layers.

VALOR is enabled by VIAVI Automation Management and Orchestration System (VAMOS).
Integrated with the VIAVI NITRO^® Wireless portfolio, VAMOS automates test campaigns, cases, and executions in a single cloud-based platform.
Customizable workspaces and configurations streamline the testing process and improve resource use across teams and lab locations. Shared tool testbeds and individual sandboxes accommodate many test needs, while the platform’s solid analytics and reporting help maximize test resource utilization and boost test accuracy.
