In various embodiments, orchestration of zero touch provisioning (ZTP) in a cloud based 5G system in provided. In some embodiments, a ZTP orchestrator (ZTPO) receives a request to perform zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) associated with deployment/configuration of a cell site. One or more ZTP pipelines that perform ZTP operations associated with the deployment/configuration of the cell site are executed. The execution of the one or more ZTP pipelines are monitored and one or more results associated with the execution of the one or more ZTP pipelines determined. Feedback information based on the one or more results of the ZTP operations is determined.

Zero touch provisioning orchestration of open ran (O-RAN) components

A method for testing a cell site during or after construction of the cell site is provided. In various embodiments, the method is implemented by a processor on a computing platform associated with a field technician. In those embodiments, the method includes pre-test configuration and connection, RU-testing, UE-testing, and post testing actions. In the pre-test configuration and connection, a connection is made with one or more cell site routers, and computing platform configures the cell site routers for the testing. In the RU-testing, one or more RUs are connected via the CSR, connections of the RU(s) and antennas connected to the RUs are tested. In the UE-testing, the field technician is instructed to perform various sector tests to test downlink connections between the UE and the RUs.

Validation tests during or after construction of a cell site

A facility for testing location determination for emergency calls is described. Software on a mobile device collects a GPS location from the mobile device, and places an emergency call that encloses information usable by the emergency call processing system to calculate mobile device location. After the system performs this calculation, the call is detected to be a testing call and routed to a computer rather than an emergency dispatcher. The computer sends an SMS or other non-telephony message to the mobile device containing the calculated location. The mobile device stores the collected GPS location and the calculated location received in the non-telephony message together for comparison.
