AEON Cloud overview

What AEON Cloud is, how the digital testbench differs from a physical tester, and how the pieces fit together.

5 min read

AEON Cloud is a managed 3GPP conformance testing service. You push a UE build (or point us at an open-source UE such as srsUE), reserve an SDR-backed radio lane, and execute standard TTCN-3 campaigns from a browser, a CLI, or a CI pipeline.

The important architectural difference: there is no physical tester in your lab. The tester is a service. Instead of racking a box, calibrating it, and booking time on it, you authenticate to an API and get a lane.

System components

  • Build repository — versioned UE images with checksums and provenance.
  • Scheduler — assigns executions to free radio lanes across regions.
  • TTCN-3 engine — compiles and executes 3GPP test suites (TS 38.523, TS 36.523, TS 38.533, TS 38.521).
  • Radio lanes — LimeSDR and Ettus B210 hardware in shielded enclosures.
  • AI Telecom Copilot — reads logs and PCAPs and explains failures against 3GPP clauses.
  • Reports service — signed PDF/JSON verdict reports and coverage traceability.

Next steps

  • Quickstart — first verdict in under 30 minutes.
  • Install the CLI — the primary interface for engineers.
  • Install srsRAN UE — bring an open-source UE to the platform.

Run this against a real SDR lane

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