TIP-badged cross-functional solutions will be particularly useful to smaller operators or others with less in-house technical capacity who are nevertheless seeking to benefit from state-of-the-art disaggregated technologies. For example, TIP badging can validate a particular combination of Open RAN and Open WiFi solutions, or a combination of specific RAN technologies, power systems, and even engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services. Cross-functional solutions demonstrate successful integration of different functionalities.As with product combinations, badges are tied to particular use cases. TIP-badged solutions allow operator deployments with much-reduced in-house testing, especially at higher badging levels.
Examples include a complete radio access network (RAN) formed from an RU + CU + DU, a RAN that also integrates intelligent automation (RIA), an Open WiFi solution combining access points with associated network control, or a combination of TIP-aligned products with other leading industry products.

Silver and gold badges will give operators increasing assurance not just that “the software will run,” but that the combination works in a particular use case. Badges demonstrate validation in a particular use case, e.g., low-density rural wireless deployments, as defined by the relevant TIP project group. Product combinations are functional network elements such as a disaggregated cell site gateway (DCSG), distributed unit (CU), or central unit (CU) that combine two or more component products, usually hardware plus software.Component products can typically be purchased “off-the-shelf,” i.e., have a single SKU number.
Vendors will typically sell component products “as they are,” with any internal software or functionality not capable of further disaggregation. They can include disaggregated products such as a radio unit (RU) and software.
