On Friday, July 11th, the 6G-XCEL consortium partners had the unique opportunity to visit i14y Lab—one of the first Open Testing & Integration Centers (OTICs) of the O-RAN Alliance.
During the visit, we were guided through the lab’s impressive history, learned about its pioneering role in open RAN testing and certification, and toured both indoor and outdoor test facilities where cutting-edge O-RAN vendor equipment is validated.
This visit reinforced the importance of collaborative testing environments and open innovation ecosystems in shaping the future of 6G networks. The knowledge exchange and shared vision for interoperability and openness is a driving force for 6G-XCEL’s mission.
