As the mobile network landscape evolves worldwide, competitive pressures continue to grow. To keep pace, today’s mobile network operators (MNOs) need to further reduce costs and increase agility as they speed new services to market — or risk falling behind. This imperative is driving many MNOs to pursue increasingly virtualized and open radio access network

Myths are everywhere – and network technology is no exception. I’m Dr. Femi Adeyemi, Head of Wireless, here to bust four O-RAN myths in this open dialogue. Let’s get into it. Myth number one: O-RAN performance is not good enough for dense urban environments. The truth is, O-RAN is not just “good enough;” its level

One of the questions put to me during September’s Fierce Open RAN Summit was whether, based on initial deployments, Open RAN is living up to the hype. My first response was that Open RAN is not hype—it’s reality. Open RAN is delivering on its promise and opening up a wealth of new possibilities for Mobile

Network DX’s influence, importance, and value extend far beyond the communications network industry, particularly in terms of sustainability. Network DX is a sustainability catalyst on a huge scale because, in simple terms, transforming networks makes them more sustainable, which in turn makes the organization more sustainable as a whole. Here’s why. Before ideas, innovations, and

When it comes to the future of 5G radio access network (RAN) technology, Open RAN is poised to be a massive game-changer. By opening up interfaces between the radio and baseband units, Open RAN will deliver greater choice, flexibility and agility for mobile network operators deploying 5G. However, Open RAN has its fair share of

In Part 1 of this blog series, we explored the many benefits network operators will reap from Open RAN (Radio Access Network) architecture. Opening up the interfaces between the Radio Unit (RU) and Baseband Unit (BBU) allows these operators access to a wider range of hardware and software choices to prevent vendor lock-in. Open RAN

Open RAN (Radio Access Network), or O-RAN, stands at the forefront of the RAN revolution and is the latest of several generations of RAN technology that have evolved since the beginning of the cellular network. O-RAN aims to bring agility and the benefits of “cloudification” to the RAN. This blog, the first of a series on O-RAN, provides a high-level introduction to O-RAN and its benefits.

Citizens Band Radio Service (CBRS) has arrived and with it, 150 MHz of prime 3.5GHz spectrum in a low-cost shared spectrum model with few barriers to entry. Described by the FCC as “the innovation band”, CBRS LTE has attracted a variety of existing and new network operators. They include traditional small, medium and large service

Move over, county mounties and bears in the air – there’s a new Bubba Big Rigger in town, wall-to-wall and treetop-tall. The FCC recently opened a block of spectrum in the 3.5 GHz band, known as Citizen Broadband Radio Services (CBRS). This newly available block enables efficient use of radio spectrum, while helping to promote

Voice over LTE (VoLTE) is considered by many to be revolutionary both for mobile operators and for subscribers. Operators, once they have established their VoLTE networks, will no longer have to maintain separate networks for voice (circuit-switched) and data (packet-switched). This will save on operational and capital expenses. Subscribers who use VoLTE will be able
