EDINBURGH, Scotland, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Calnex Solutions plc (LON:CLX) today announced its technology will be part of three live solution demonstrations at MWC Barcelona 2026 designed to simplify the path to conformance across Open RAN and AI RAN ecosystems.
As Open RAN and AI RAN ecosystems expand to include new vendors, startups, and university spinouts, the burden of interoperability, reliability, and conformance testing has never been greater.
Too often, equipment passes limited single-vendor tests, only to fail in real-world, multi-vendor deployments. Final certification may happen in official labs, but success is decided long before that stage. Each solution, combining industry-leading expertise, demonstrates how equipment vendors, system integrators, and operators can access a fast, reliable path to pre–certification confidence, without months of integration and debugging.
"Open network architectures only deliver their promise when the ecosystem can prove interoperability, performance and resilience under realistic conditions," said Peter White, VP Product & Marketing at Calnex Solutions. "At MWC Barcelona 2026, we are supporting scalable test bundles that teams can use to shorten integration cycles and de-risk deployments."
The 3 demonstrations across MWC Barcelona involving Calnex:
Solution 1:
Open RAN O-RU and O-DU test solution with S-Plane testing
