Orange Romania 6G-PATH Testbed: Deployment, Architecture and Experimental Capabilities

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper presents the deployment, architecture, and experimental capabilities of the Orange Romania (ORO) testbed within the 6G-PATH project. The revised manuscript positions the platform with respect to existing $5 \mathrm{G} / 6 \mathrm{G}$ experimentation facilities and clarifies its scientific contribution: an operator-grade, dual-site, edge-enabled 5G SA/NSA environment exposing slicing, monitoring, security, and intent-driven management functions for vertical experimentation. The current deployment includes a virtualized 5G Core, 5G NR SA cells in n78 with 100 MHz bandwidth and 4T4R operation, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) resources, programmable slice-management APIs, and secure third-party access. The paper reports the available quantitative capability baseline and deployment progress, while identifying the follow-up KPI measurement campaign planned for the XR rural education use case and open-call experiments.
