ARA-O-RAN: End-to-End Programmable O-RAN Living Lab for Agriculture and Rural Communities

Tianyi Zhang, Joshua Ofori Boateng, Taimoor UI Islam, Arsalan Ahmad, Hongwei Zhang, Daji Qiao · 2024

Summary. ARA-O-RAN is a new wireless testbed built on open radio access network (O-RAN) architecture designed specifically for rural and agricultural applications. The testbed combines outdoor testing across farmland and rural communities with an indoor sandbox, enabling researchers to develop and test wireless technologies that address rural connectivity challenges. It supports end-to-end programmability and aligns with national spectrum policy goals for rural innovation.
