Despite misconceptions, open interfaces, defined in the O-RAN technical specifications, provide increased independent visibility and the opportunity for an overall enhanced and more secure system.
Mavenir and Senza Fili developed a financial model that allows you to compare the Open RAN TCO for three scenarios
Discover the key parameters that need to be addressed to ensure full integration of Open RAN solutions.
With the tactical and rightly timed acquisition of ip.access, Mavenir plugged the small cell radio hole in its growing end to-end software products and services portfolio.
The Open RAN concept and movement is not new – mobile operators and network and technology vendors have been developing solutions, conducting trials and deploying networks for the last few years. The important point is that Open RAN networks are being deployed today by major operators around the world – this is no longer a science experiment. The Open RAN concept is about disaggregating the RAN functionality by building networks using a fully programmable software-defined mobile network solution based on open interfaces – radios, base stations, etc. – that runs on commercial, off-the-shelf hardware (COTS) with open interfaces.
A key theme in the 2020s mobile industry will be private cellular networks – initially 4G-based, then transitioning to 5G as it matures. Enterprises, indoor structures, governments, IT solution providers, industrial players, cities, transport hubs and numerous other sectors will deploy, run and own cellular networks.
This white paper reviews the challenges that brands are facing in their strategies and provides guidance on why they should be investing in RCS campaigns.
With lagging growth opportunities in the consumer segment, MNOs seek new revenue opportunities on the business segment and, specifically, the Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC), which has seen solid growth and delivers higher ARPU and customer stickiness.
MNOs are under intense pressure in the consumer market, seeing flat growth in net number of subscribers, forced into price wars on voice and data plans, and heavily disrupted by voice and messaging over-the-top (OTT) applications such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, and others that have eroded their consumer revenue. It has become a race to the…
