VIAVI Presents Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Demonstration Hosted by Amazon Web Services

CHANDLER, Ariz., Feb. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced participation in a demonstration of 5G and beyond wireless network management showcasing energy-efficient and low-power cell environments that maintain or improve user experience. Hosted by AWS, the demonstration will take place in the AWS Village at the Fira Barcelona, Gran Via, at MWC 2023.

The demonstration addresses a real-world use case for O-RAN, leveraging VIAVI TeraVM RIC Test and rApps on a non-real time RIC, with AWS hosting. The demonstration will show how the RIC takes feeds from the RAN and uses rApps to make decisions to optimize RAN management. TeraVM RIC Test emulates the RAN (UEs, O-RU, O-DU, O-CU) and provides RAN scenarios, including cell power usage to the RIC, thereby helping train the rApps on real scenarios. As an example, a combination of traffic steering and energy efficiency rApps apply AI and Machine Learning for traffic steering around different cells, and then determine how to best keep the cells operating at as low power as possible without reducing user experience or in many cases, making it better.

"The VIAVI cloud vision works with industry to improve time-to-revenue and time-to-market through partnership on the delivery of, and transition to, cloud-based networks and integration. Working with AWS, we enable service in the cloud – through both our cloud-based solutions and as part of their cloud workflow," said Sameh Yamany, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer, VIAVI. "As this partner demonstration shows, we will enable an industry equipped to leverage VIAVI capabilities with fully validated, provisioned, and observable networks that are ready to go when the cloud is turned up in any use case."
