AI-Powered Digital Twin Transforms RAN Integration
Cirrus360 and Vodafone have unveiled an advanced AI-powered digital twin platform designed to improve RAN integration and testing. The solution automates real-time system analysis and predicts potential failure scenarios during testing. As a result, developers and system integrators gain deeper visibility into Radio Access Network (RAN) behavior.
The platform identifies hardware optimization opportunities and improves resource efficiency. Consequently, telecom operators can deploy solutions faster and reduce overall testing costs. In addition, software can be fine-tuned to align precisely with open RAN mobile site hardware, accelerating time to market.
Gabriel™ Platform Enables Intelligent Network Modeling
At the core of this innovation is Cirrus360’s cloud-based Gabriel™ platform. It applies AI reasoning to analyze 5G and 6G protocol descriptions, RAN Domain Specific Language (RDSL™), RAN function metadata, and hardware resource data. Therefore, it creates a comprehensive digital twin that mirrors real-world network environments.
This declarative modeling approach acts as a virtual assistant for RAN testing. Moreover, it enhances risk prediction, improves validation accuracy, and streamlines integration processes.
Strengthening Open RAN Collaboration
Vodafone supports the initiative by providing access to real-world test environments and deployment scenarios. As a result, the collaboration accelerates testing readiness for next-generation RAN silicon and AI-driven features. Furthermore, the project highlights how open ecosystems can drive telecom innovation.
By combining advanced modeling with practical testing infrastructure, both companies aim to simplify network evolution across the telecom industry.
Supported by NTIA Innovation Fund
The platform was developed with funding from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) under the Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund, part of the US Department of Commerce. This program invests in improved testing methods that assess interoperability, performance, and network security.
NTIA officials emphasized that the Innovation Fund promotes open and interoperable network equipment. Therefore, this partnership reflects a broader effort to accelerate reliable and scalable open RAN deployments.
Overall, the AI-driven digital twin solution represents a significant step forward in modern RAN testing. By combining intelligent modeling, predictive analysis, and collaborative validation environments, Cirrus360 and Vodafone are helping shape the future of telecom infrastructure.
