The latest symposium took a turn toward business use cases at the expense of the usual technical talks, with speakers saying that use cases should drive the technology. Through most of 5G’s development, conference topics generally focused on the technologies such as the radio and network technologies. With much of that settled, talk moved to…
How it works: Base station on a chip
EdgeQ is sampling what it calls a “base station on a chip” that handles high-PHY through baseband. CEO Vinay Ravuri explains its architecture in a video.
Video: Rakuten’s acquisition of Altiostar
The Open RAN software vendor is now part of the Japanese mobile network operator. 5G Technology World interviewed Altiostar’s Thierry Maupile about how the company will operate from now on.
How Open RAN provides a secure wireless network
Keeping Open RAN software secure means containerizing functions, securing each container, and securing the entire software design.
Timing IC combines functions for Open RAN
Microchip’s ZL30735 integrates eight DPLLs, five low-output jitter synthesizers, and an IEEE 1588-2008 protocol stack. The splitting of radio access network functions creates an Open RAN that promises greater innovation and features in 5G networks. Splitting the traditional baseband unit into radio units (RU), distribution units (DU) and centralized units (CU) brings timing issues not…
Open RAN: Radios play a vital role
In a video interview, Fujitsu’s Femi Adeyemi talks with 5G Technology World about the company’s 5G radios and the Telecom Infrastructure Project. While most of the 5G talk surrounding Open RAN focuses on the digital baseband, those digital data streams come from and go to the radio. Fujitsu Network Communications has developed two 5G radios…
Deploy and maintain an Open RAN network
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.
How timing sources synchronize open RAN networks
IEEE 1588 PTP and SyncE protocols keep radio units, switches, and distribution units in sync.
Functional Splits: the foundation of an Open 5G RAN
The open standards for radio access networks offer options for locating network functions. These functional split options depend on network services and available transport links.
