01
Testing one cell end-to-end
Before installation, the team tested a one-cell end-to-end setup inside the lab.
Campus5G journey
A visual timeline for the campus-scale O-RAN-compliant private 5G testbed at the University of Edinburgh.
02
Antenna type used
We use Benetel and VVDN RUs with these antennas as part of the Campus5G deployment.
03
Visualizing the deployment footprint
The testbed moved from a lab idea toward a campus-scale system with physical locations, paths, and coverage constraints.
04
Designing the private 5G stack
Campus5G brought the RAN, core, timing, and management pieces into one experimental platform.
05
Surviving Storm Éowyn
Campus5G survived Storm Éowyn, giving an early proof point for deployment resilience.
06
Fiber installation
Fiber links were installed across the campus deployment to connect the radio sites back to the testbed infrastructure.
07
Troubleshooting the hard parts
Timing sync failures, VLAN issues, VF-MAC mapping, TDD/PRACH settings, and frequency mismatches became concrete engineering lessons.
08
Validating the transport path
Fiber testing helped make the physical transport layer dependable before the full system came online.
09
Checking the radio layer
Radio testing validated the RF-facing components before full end-to-end operation.
10
Walk testing the live deployment
The complete deployment was tested end-to-end with multiple walk tests across the campus environment.
