Mavenir, Altiostar Offer Open RAN Kit for US

Software vendors Mavenir and Altiostar partnered to develop new open RAN kit for the US market, aiming to capitalize on political opposition to Chinese vendors.

Working with third-party hardware manufacturers, the companies plan to deliver an initial set of 4G and 5G radios compatible with US frequencies this month, with a full range in Q1 2021.

Initial kit will cover frequencies used by tier-one and smaller operators.
