Customer Benefits

VALOR eliminates the time, cost, and complexity of building and maintaining an in-house test facility. Customers gain immediate access to carrier-grade infrastructure, proven expertise, and an intelligent automation layer, without the overhead.

お客様のメリット

The VALOR Lab in Chandler, Arizona

Operational since October 2024, the VALOR facility in Chandler, Arizona is a hybrid physical-and-cloud lab purpose-engineered for multi-vendor Open RAN testing.

The facility houses dedicated customer labs, co-location spaces, and a 25′ × 35′ RF anechoic chamber.

Powered by NVIDIA, the lab delivers the compute infrastructure required for AI/ML model training, application testing, and large-scale network simulation. Every customer workspace is VLAN-isolated, badge-restricted, and operated under a full NDA and IP protection framework.
