Duranta - An open, research-grade RAN + UE reference stack
Built on OpenAirInterface software and hosted by LF Networking to accelerate Open RAN innovation.
View Repository
Open Source License CSSL v1
A new LF Networking incubation project, created with the OpenAirInterface Software Alliance (OSA), advancing open source CU/DU and UE for end-to-end testing and deployment.
What is Duranta?
Duranta is an open source Radio Access Network (RAN) and User Equipment (UE) reference stack designed for research, testing, and early deployment. The project builds on OpenAirInterface (OAI) community software and adds neutral governance, structured support, and a broader collaboration surface through LF Networking.
Mission
Develop a reference Radio Network stack—including CU/DU components of the RAN and a UE software stack—with the tooling, documentation, and validation needed to make open RAN research repeatable and progress it toward deployment-ready software.
Scope
RAN & UE Project: Collaborative development of CU/DU and UE, plus documentation, test assets, and integration artifacts to aid development, deployment, operation, and adoption.
Operations Project: CI/CD pipelines, packaging, lab topologies, reproducible test harnesses, and operational runbooks.
Planned Expansion:
Scope will extend to the Core Network and Operations & Management (O&M), enabling end-to-end open networking validation.
What You Get
Reference CU/DU components suited for labs, testbeds, and trials
UE software stack for end-to-end validation and performance studies
Reproducible artifacts: build guides, sample topologies, test vectors, and benchmarks
Integration & testing: CI pipelines, security checks, and maturity tracking
Operations tooling: manifests, packaging, and runbooks for CNF-based deployments (aligned with Nephio)
Who It’s For
Researchers & universities validating new RAN/UE designs
Vendors & system integrators proving interoperability and performance
Operators & test labs building repeatable, end-to-end open RAN trials
Roadmap (High-Level)
RAN/UE Foundations:
runnable CU/DU + UE with docs, CI, and initial test coverage
Ops Enablement:
packaging, deployment tooling, and reference lab topologies
Core & O&M Path:
staged integration plan, APIs/interfaces, and initial prototypes
Maturity & Conformance:
test suites, performance baselines, and release criteria
Help shape an open, research-grade reference RAN and UE.
