Published as part of the Forbes Technology Council series. Open RAN (ORAN) has been a key area of innovation in the telecommunications industry in recent years. Open RAN disaggregates the radio access network (RAN) and enables a modular architecture with open interfaces. RAN disaggregation permits faster innovation, lower operating expenses for operators and unique ways to optimize…
Click here to view the recording It’s said that Open RAN is all about ‘Open Interfaces’. This feels like an oversimplified view. Can you explain? It’s really not complicated. Yes, it’s all about interoperability between two different elements in a mobile network. Those two elements could be actually manufactured by two different vendors, and providing…
“Enabling multi-vendor operation while supporting all capabilities possible with traditional RAN, will allow operators to leverage equipment from new vendors and provide innovative solutions that deliver higher network performance” said Pardeep Kohli, Mavenir’s President and CEO.
Disrupting the status quo tends to bring out fierce opposition from those whose business model could be endangered. It is not a surprise that, despite Open RAN’s momentum with both greenfield and brownfield CSPs, some industry players are trying to sow skepticism among the adopters of the solution and associated technology, particularly about its commercial…
With the transition to 5G networks, Communication Service Providers CSPs are focusing on improving energy efficiency and leveraging cloud-native virtualization and automation to deliver coverage and performance while keeping capex and opex contained.
Nothing spells celebration like a cake cutting ceremony and that is just what Turkcell officials hosted in their headquarters in Istanbul, Turkey – a celebration to mark the achievement of a milestone in Voice digitization. Turkcell embarked on a network transformation journey with Mavenir to virtualize its LTE voice network. By the end of…
Today, a focus on sustainability is foundational to a company’s corporate citizenship. As countries and companies work to build better networks, they must also ensure that they are sustainable.
FWA can help accelerate broadband adoption in rural areas and enable real competition in sub-urban areas by allowing MNOs to offer speeds and latency that match those of cable.
Why did Mavenir partner with Northeastern University? Mavenir was excited to work with Northeastern University largely due to their wireless IoT initiative called Colosseum, which has focused on the Open RAN compliant network simulator. Mavenir is engaging with other universities as well globally. Many of these universities are working on similar applications and concepts as…
“The industry continues to embrace Open RAN—it’s clearly the future of mobile networks. But what exactly is true Open RAN, and how do CSPs know which of the three emerging variations is right for their network: Open Fronthaul RAN, Disaggregated Open vRAN, or Cloud Open vRAN?”
