Open Source 5G Network Testing & Deployment
Private 5G networks offer new opportunities for secure, high-performance communications — but real-world adoption requires careful validation and robust integration.
Qoherent delivers end-to-end testing, deployment, and integration services for open-source 5G platforms, combining Open RAN expertise, commercial-grade SDR hardware, and AI/ML integration for RAN control and joint communications and sensing (JCAS).
Info
We partner directly with the srsRAN project and industry collaborators to advance Open RAN capabilities.

Testing Services
We plan and execute targeted test campaigns to evaluate network capability, application performance, and integration with operational systems.
- Network Performance Validation
- Integration Testing
- Specialised Scenarios
- Coverage mapping and range testing in indoor and outdoor environments
- Throughput and latency measurement under representative loads
- Multi-UE capacity assessment, mobility, and handover testing
- Latency- and reliability verification
- UE and device compatibility validation
- Application-layer performance and stability testing
- Coexistence analysis with other wireless systems
- Edge computing integration and orchestration validation
- Relay nodes extending extending coverage for remote operations with ad-hoc networks.
- Incumbent-based spectrum sharing and opportunistic spectrum consumption.
- Sensing with sub-10ms latency in time critical applications
Deployment Services
We deploy both research-grade and small-scale, AI-enabled private 5G networks, from single-site testbeds to multi-node operational systems.
- Core network: 5G Core (5GC) or EPC deployment and configuration
- Radio access: gNodeB/eNodeB installation, tuning, and optimisation
- Integration: Seamless connection to existing IT and operational infrastructure
- Security: Network segmentation, isolation, and access control policies
- Software platforms: srsRAN, OpenAirInterface, Open RAN frameworks, and custom modules
- Hardware: USRP devices, other SDR platforms, and O-RU integration
- Deployment models: On-premises labs, edge compute environments, and hybrid architectures
