Hi NVIDIA Aerial team,

We are closely following the development of the Aerial Testbed (ARC-OTA), especially the upcoming Aerial Testbed 1.0 release.

From recent discussions, we understand that support for DGX Spark and updated platform integration is expected in this new version, which is very important for our AI-RAN deployment and evaluation.

Could you please share:

  • Is there an estimated release timeline for Aerial Testbed 1.0?
  • Will it be available in the near term (e.g., within the next few weeks)?

We are actively preparing our system based on this release, and any guidance on timing would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your support!

Best regards,

Hi

Did I miss something, or was the timeline published/posted somewhere? Because the ARC-OTA#Release notes still only display release 1.7 and doesn’t mention DGX Spark. The closest I could find was this reply on Apr 17

But thanks to the note I now see that aerial 26-1 is now tested with DGX Spark. (EDIT)

Hi NVIDIA Aerial team,

Thanks for the previous update mentioning Aerial Testbed 1.0 will be released “very soon”.

We would like to better plan our deployment timeline on DGX Spark.

Could you please clarify:

  1. Is the release expected within April, or more likely in May?
  2. Will the first release include:
    • DGX Spark deployment guide
    • Liteon / WNC O-RU validated setup
  3. Is there any RC (release candidate) or early access version available?

This would help us align our system integration schedule.

Thanks a lot!
