CHANDLER | MUMBAI, October 26, 2023: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) has helped VIAVI Solutions, a global network test, monitoring, and assurance solutions provider, transform its 5G O-RAN (Open Radio Access Network) test solutions that enable device manufacturers and others to launch 5G innovations faster.

VIAVI partnered with TCS to co-create an end-to-end test framework solution for interoperability testing of O-RAN devices for successful integration with key equipment manufacturers globally. As a part of this co-innovation, TCS built an intuitive platform-agnostic solution, simplifying testing operations and reimagining the user experience for system testers, field engineers, and technology partners.

Through their 25-year partnership, TCS and VIAVI co-innovated across every new generation of technology from 2G onwards, shaping the technology ecosystem. TCS has played a key role in VIAVI’s growth and transformation, collaborating across new product development, managing existing product portfolios, integrating new products from acquisitions, and reimagining critical business functions. More recently, TCS helped VIAVI develop a first-of-its-kind 5G Open RAN portfolio of test verification and assurance solutions such as TM500 O-RU Tester, TeraVM O-DU Tester, and an end-to-end Open RAN test product suite.
