Open RAN: The Debate
Which side of the fence are you on? Or are you sitting on the fence, waiting to see what the next big Open RAN advancement will be?

Mavenir’s Aniruddho Basu in a Telecoms.com interview, discussing the role that partner’s play in enabling the vision of a single, software-based automated network that runs on any cloud.
Greenfield operators have an advantage… but there are lessons for them as well, because they’ll be brownfield in two years!
Mavenir’s John Baker talks with RCR Wireless’ Sean Kinney at Mobile World Congress 2023 about the 2023 industry momentum around Open RAN
Recent trials in live networks by ABI Research have demonstrated that a non-RT RIC rApp for switching radios ‘on and off’ can provide as high as 15% to 20% gain.
KPIs to enable Operators to measure and manage their progress towards alignment with sustainability goals are detailed by Next Generation Mobile Network (NGMN) Alliance in its February 2023 report.
Mavenir’s Pardeep Kohli, President and CEO, reveals why Mobile Network Operators are switching to Cloud-Native Automated Networks at Mobile World Congress 2023.
Mavenir’s Virtual Cell Site Router (vCSR) replaces the physical cell site router with a cloud-native network function (CNF) running on the Open RAN DU server, on common-off-the-shelf (COTS) servers. For CSPs this means fewer cell site devices to power, fewer cables and points of failure and more data throughput per watt, lowering operation and management overhead, and liberating rack space that can be used for incremental revenue generating applications.
This white paper examines the implementation aspects of cloud-native virtualized Open RAN systems powered by Intel x86-based commercial servers and containerized and highly optimized RAN software developed by Mavenir and Intel, as well as strategies and technologies that are incorporated or are under development to optimize the overall system power consumption and to ensure energy efficiency across various network components and the network are described.
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) allows CSPs to address the market demands by leveraging LTE and 5G wireless spectrum to deliver the last mile of broadband connectivity affordably.
