Bonn, Germany,, August 15, 2025 / Prnewswire /-The O-Ran Alliance opened the call for the participation of its Global Plugfest Fall 2025 Or-Robal Plugfest.
The Plugfest provides a global platform for manufacturers of radio access network equipment (Ran), service providers, universities and research institutions to test, integrate and validate solutions in a multi-supplier collaborative environment.
The Plugfest is hosted by 25 independent operators and institutions in 19 laboratories in different regions of the world.
Plugfest activities are scheduled from August to November 2025Monitoring of presentations and results demonstrations to the O-RAN community. O-RAN ALLIANCE provides a public announcement of the PLUGFEST results in December.

- O-RAN SYSTEM TEST WITH CLOSE 1 ACCEURATION 1
- Demonstrate open and reproducible open fronthaul tests in several laboratories
- Consumption, efficiency and energy savings test O-RAN
- O-RA E2E deployment templates, devops and Automation test
- Ecosystem of diversity of white-box O-RAN equipment
- Transport test in Fronthaul Open with several O-RUs
Several of these areas use intelligent components fueled by AI, including the management of services and orchestration (SMO), directed intelligent controllers (RICS) and XAPPS / Rapp associated, activated by O-RAN specifications.
