The O-RAN ALLIANCE's mission is to re-shape the Radio Access Network (RAN) industry towards more intelligent, open, virtualized, and fully interoperable networks. To achieve its mission, it embarks on three main streams of work: Specification effort, O-RAN Software Community, and Testing and Integration. As part of the Testing and Integration stream, Open Testing and Integration Centres (OTICs) and the O-RAN Certification and Badging program are key pillars that support O-RAN ecosystem in achieving the mission. This white paper provides an overview of these two key pillars, what they are, how they operate, and their key objectives.
