Mavenir Stokes Open RAN, Creates Radio Reference Designs

Today Mavenir announced that it is establishing a new business unit that will develop hardware and software designs for Open RAN radios. Its goal is to create an ecosystem of radio vendors that will build Open RAN radios for the specific needs of operators around the world.

Speaking with Fierce, Mavenir’s CEO Pardeep Kohli said Open RAN won’t be successful unless there are radios that suit the needs of many operators who all have different spectrum and different requirements. “We want to reduce the complexity of building a radio,” said Kohli.
