== Project Overview

We are part of the '''Cloud-native O-RAN''' team, actively collaborating with the [https://www.orbit-lab.org/wiki/Other/Summer/2025/O-Ran O-RAN Testing Curriculum Development] team, to advance the understanding and adoption of Open-RAN technologies.

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.

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.

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