The Open RAN 4G solution disaggregates the hardware from the software to allow the mobile network operator to pick and choose each aspect of the network from a different vendor. Open RAN 4G solution consists of gNB virtualCentralized Unit (vCU), gNB virtual Distributed Unit (vDU), 3rd party O-RAN compliant Radio Units (O-RU) and antennas. The 4G solution is based on a VNF architecture.
Software fabric that spans both LTE and 5G technology for ease of upgrade
RAN architecture evolution aided by NFV technology whereby baseband functions are decoupled from underlying hardware and deployed on carrier-grade NFV infrastructure
Software programmability and network automation
Reduced time to market as new services can be quickly realized in the software without the need for hardware changes
Open interfaces based on O-RAN Alliance specifications to foster development of robust hardware and software ecosystem
Advanced algorithms for inter-site co-ordination over packet transport
Support for 3GPP higher layer split of the protocol stack and multiple options for the lower layer split
Control Plane and Data plane separation
API to support edge-based applications and automation of the network
The solutions for 4G and 5G can run on a COTS server on a virtualized platform independent from the underlying hardware. Finally, vCU and vDU can interface to a radio according to the O-RAN specifications, allowing the operator to choose best-of-breed hardware both for servers and radio units.
A Part of
Open RAN
We offer a complete, multi-vendor 4G/5G open RAN that is proven at scale, and independently recognized for its world-class quality. Supporting the complete network lifecycle through to live operations, we are enabling operators to disrupt mature markets, lower costs, and rapidly roll out innovations from an open ecosystem of vendor partners.
