| 7 | == Project Overview |
| 8 | |
| 9 | We are part of the '''Cloud-native O-RAN''' team, actively collaborating with the '''O-RAN Testing Curriculum Development team''' to advance the understanding and adoption of Open-RAN technologies. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | As part of this collaboration, we are working on developing a course on Open RAN, hosted on our website [https://praxeum.com/ Praxeum], in order to help fellow students acquire the knowledge needed to help accelerate the widespread adoption of Open, Programmable, Secure 5G. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | In parallel, we Cloud-native team are working on the '''Hybrid-M plane testing project''', which focuses on validating the interface between the '''O-RU framework''' and the '''SMO (Service Management and Orchestration)''' platform via the '''O-RU Controller'''. This project involves executing and analyzing standardized test cases (e.g., NETCONF session establishment, configuration data exposure, and management session verification), ensuring reliable and compliant M-Plane behavior in line with O-RAN specifications. We are also contributing to the development of new Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) and custom test cases to extend the testing framework further. |

| 15 | Alongside, we are working with '''O-RAN Testing Curriculum Development team''' on designing/creating rApps for various O-RAN use cases. |
