As Open RAN gains momentum, so does the need to understand how vendor diversity and network disaggregation impact both performance and energy efficiency. Two NTIA PWSCIF NOFO1 projects, ACCoRD and SMaRT-5G, are tackling these challenges from different but complementary angles. This emerging collaboration could help push the industry forward with better tools, methods, and insights.
Where do these two NTIA PWSCIF NOFO1 projects intersect?
- Infrastructure Compatibility
- Methodology Feeding Into Test Cases
- Shared Testbeds and Network Functions
- Tooling Reuse Potential
