The TurboRAN testbed has commercial and open source 5G Core (5GCs)/EPCs and incorporates a Hadoop cluster for big data processing. This cluster is connected to 5GCs and EPCs, as well as access points for applying machine-learning algorithms, allowing for zero-touch automation and proactive self-organizing network functionalities. High-capacity optical fiber cables connect the cells to the 5GCs/EPCs and large data processing cluster, allowing for data rates of up to 10 Gbps.
