Getting started

Connect your UE to AEON Cloud

The three ways to attach a device under test: upload a build image, run the UE launcher against a remote lane, or tunnel a physical UE from your bench.

There is no physical tester on your side, but the UE still has to reach the lane. AEON supports three attachment models. Pick based on where your UE stack runs.

Model A — hosted software UE

Your UE is software (srsUE, OAI UE, or your own stack compiled for x86/ARM). Push it as a build and we run it inside the lane, cabled to the SDR. Lowest latency and fully deterministic. This is the default for open-source UE work.

bashbash
aeon builds push ./srsue-bundle.tar.gz --tag main
aeon exec run --suite NR_5GS_Registration --build main

Model B — remote UE over tunnel

Your UE runs on your bench (a dev board, a modem module, a reference phone). The AEON agent creates an authenticated tunnel so the lane drives your device over IP while RF terminates locally.

bashbash
aeon tunnel up --lane eu-west-1/lime-03 --local-ue 192.168.10.24:9000
aeon tunnel status

Model C — shipped device

For RF-heavy campaigns (TS 38.521) you can ship a device once and keep it racked in a shielded enclosure. It becomes a persistent target you address by ID from CI, indefinitely, without ever touching a chamber yourself.

Run this against a real SDR lane

The tester is a service, not a box. Push a build, reserve a lane, get a verdict.
