Open Radio Access Networks (Open-RAN) for 5G

Overview

5G radio, improves spectral efficiency while offering unrivaled network capacity. 5G New Radio technology is based on adaptable OFDM waveforms and multiple access techniques that have been optimized for a wide range of 5G services, applications, and deployment scenarios. Various 3GPP standards outline 5G (NR) functions, with the first phase finished in Rel-15 and the second phase completed in Rel-16.



The Faststream OpenRAN software suite for 5G(NR) improves spectrum efficiency, traffic capacity, throughput, dependability, and the number of connected devices, while also lowering end-to-end latency. Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Massive Machine-Type Communications (MTC), and Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications are just a few of the use cases that MNOs may utilize our technology to enable and support (URLLC).

Key Features

  • It is unheard unusual for earlier Gs to use a software-based approach. So far, it has been hard to reconfigure existing 2G and 3G radios to accommodate newer communication protocols like 4G and, eventually, 5G. Our solution is built for open interoperability, with a GPP-based baseband processing platform, radio hardware, software, and a streamlined business model that supports ALL existing and future Gs for a better, unified service to end-users at a considerably reduced TCO for mobile operators.
  • Faststream’s software platform, which separates hardware and software, helps mobile operators extend and modernize existing legacy networks to accommodate subscribers across all Generations technologies. Faststream’s Open vRAN solution includes a COTS vBBU, an OpenRAN-based RRU, as well as an OpenRAN Controller and network software package.
  • Mobile operators may replace obsolete Generations systems with our OpenRAN Hardware
  • Faststream vBBU is equipped with the future-proof architecture of DU and CU, which is installed at the network’s edge
  • Through the abstraction of conventional RAN and core network services on a COTS server, our approach allows a unified architecture

Benefits

  • Can create a virtualized network in which pieces can be totally disassembled
  • Multiple operators can be operated utilizing multiple VNFs
  • Can open the link between the remote radio head and the DU
  • Provides operators with complete insight and control over their network security
  • Edge intelligence distributed for 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks
