    Abstract: 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 that includes a DU emulator. In those embodiments, the method includes establishing a first connection between a distributed unit (DU) emulator and a cell site router (CSR) of the cell site, wherein the DU emulator emulates functions of a DU; establishing a second connection between a radio unit (RU) and the CSR, wherein the RU is coupled to the DU emulator through the CSR; and causing, via the DU emulator, one or more tests to be performed at the cell site, wherein the one or more tests include at least one of a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) test, a passive intermodulation (PIM) test, a physical cell identifier (PCI) test, or a cable test.
