Open radio access networks offer advantages in locating network functions of proprietary RANs. Automation and orchestration let telecom networks do what computing networks have done for years.
Subscription test suite automates 5G core network testing
Spirent’s Landslide 5G Core (5GC) Automation Package contains test cases that network engineers can use to develop functional and performance tests, among others. Core networks perform many functions in cellular networks such as authenticating users, providing subscribed services, security, and connecting users to requested applications. 3GPP defines standards for how these 5G network functions communicate.…
Software predicts changes in wireless channels
Spectrum Multiplier software from Cohere Technologies uses Delay-Doppler effects to predict how a wireless channel will change in real time, letting base stations control MU-MIMO beams.
Five reasons why TSN over 5G promises timely deliveries
The Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) family of IEEE 802.1 network standards bring reliability and low latency to applications over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and 5G.
5G lab tests hardware, software, and use cases
When complete, Altran’s 5G test lab will emulate all parts of a network, letting hardware engineers, network engineers, and software developers test products at any point in the 5G network. 5G Technology World interviewed Altran’s Shamik Mishra, CTO Connectivity, about the lab.
Why the 5G core converges wireless with wireline
A toolkit lets integrated operators run their mobile and fixed-line operations on a common 5G core.
Roadmap helps governments promote, fund, and implement 5G open RAN
The Open RAN Coalition’s roadmap provides guidance for governments trying to navigate through 5G by promoting cooperation, providing financial incentives, and implementing policy.
Industrial router connects wired networks to cellular
The IX10 from Digi International lets you perform industrial monitoring, control, and configuration of equipment through cellular networks.
Key takeaways from 6G Symposium
Despite the intense hype, 5G looks like a stepping stone to the real thing.
Open RAN unlocks network functions
In a video interview, Analog Devices’ Nitin Sharma explains the company’s involvement with open RAN and the concept of a functional split. Open radio access networks are all the talk at the network — as opposed to the wireless — side of 5G. While most of the talk surrounds the disaggregation of network functions, the…
