KPI monitoring, alarms monitoring, troubleshooting - Track KPIs (access, attach, CPU, memory etc) / alarms per MNO 3. Core Network and Integration - Compatible with at least one of the following cores: - Fraunhofer Focus Open 5g Core, - open5Gs (4G/5G core) - Amarisoft 5G/4GCore 4. Services: Support the following use cases - 5G Neutral hosting MORAN -RRC configuration based on PLMN - 5G and 4G Neutral hosting -MORAN -RRC configuration based on PLMN - 5G Neutral Hosting MOCN -RRC configuration based on PLMN - Hand over handled by RIC module. - Radio Resource management through RIC module based on application (stage one O-RAN requirements) - Third party apps deployed in RIC (xApps/rApps) - Ability to integrate 4G and 5G networks under the platform (e.g neutral hosting of 4G and 5G bearers under the same platform) 5. Support Knowledge transfer in terms of installation and configuration (No black boxes please) Information on the IaaS platform used, (i.e. Kubernetes, Starlinx, e.t.c) Instruction to configure the DU, CUs through GUI as well as trough low level config files(i.e yaml files e.t.c) On-site support for 6 months Training and demos on the following: - Platform RIC deployment and API - Deployment of the 5G/5G or 4G/5G Neutral Host - handling RIC modules for the RRM and handover use cases - OSS solution available
