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.

5G Technology world will host a discussion on Open RAN technology on June 16, 2021. Register here.
Our first 5G handbook awaits you
5G Technology World and EE World present our first 5G handbook, digital edition.
Open RAN: it’s still early in the game
With all the talk about Open RAN, it’s still in the top of the first inning.
Computing platform verifies network ICs prior to silicon
The Veloce hardware-assisted verification platform from Siemens Digital Industries Software lets engineers verify digital IC designs while they are still software. Processing power ranges from a single board to a multi-chassis rack.
Open RAN functional splits, explained
Open radio access networks offer the option of placing network functions in different places along the signal path. That option, called a functional split, lets network engineers optimize performance and make tradeoffs.
