The Sionna Research Kit is an accelerated, open platform for wireless research and development. Powered by the NVIDIA DGX Spark and built on OpenAirInterface, it provides a software-defined 5G RAN and core network for end-to-end experimentation running in real-time.

Created by the team behind Sionna, it features textbook-quality tutorials and O-RAN-compliant interfaces. In just one afternoon, you will connect commercial 5G equipment to a network using your own customizable transceiver algorithms. Conducting AI-RAN experiments, whether simulated, cabled, or over-the-air, has never been more accessible.

The official documentation can be found here. You can build the documentation locally via make doc. This may require manually installing sudo apt install pandoc and pip install -r requirements_doc.txt.
