Open source UE
Remote UE tunnel
Drive a UE on your own bench from a remote AEON lane using the tunnel agent — setup, NAT traversal, latency budget, and security model.
6 min read
The tunnel exists for UEs you cannot upload: a proprietary modem, a dev board, a device with a JTAG harness. The control plane crosses the internet; RF stays local to whichever side owns the radio.
Start the agent
bashbash
aeon agent install --token "$AEON_TOKEN" sudo systemctl enable --now aeon-agent aeon tunnel up --lane eu-west-1/lime-03 --local-ue 192.168.10.24:9000 aeon tunnel status --watch
Network requirements
- Outbound TCP 443 only — no inbound ports, no firewall exceptions.
- Round-trip latency under 80 ms for protocol conformance suites.
- Under 25 ms for timing-sensitive RRM cases; otherwise use a hosted or shipped model.
- mTLS between agent and lane; the agent never accepts inbound connections.
Latency and determinism
TTCN-3 timers are specified in 3GPP with real margins, but a jittery tunnel can still turn a PASS into an inconclusive verdict. The platform measures RTT continuously and marks any execution whose jitter exceeded the suite's budget, so you never ship a report built on a noisy link.
Run this against a real SDR lane
The tester is a service, not a box. Push a build, reserve a lane, get a verdict.
