Intel will has begun work on 5G mMIMO Open RAN Radio Unit whitebox
Telecom Infra Project (TIP) and Intel have announced their joint effort to produce a 5G massive MIMO (mMIMO) Open RAN Radio Unit (O-RU) whitebox to address the capacity and intelligence needs for future...
Open RAN radios units present several challenges around size, weight, power and cost
With the basics of Open RAN standardization mostly squared away, the industry’s attention is turning to building out the ecosystem of partners in order to accelerate adoption. In an interview at Mobile...
As digital services evolve and users continue to demand faster speeds and higher availability, network densification is proving to be a key driver for enabling successful 5G networks. Small cells, in particular, are seen by operators as a method of increasing cellular network capacity,...

Sport complexes, concert halls and other enclosed venues are promising scenarios for a small cell deployment
Small cells can be deployed indoors or outdoors and in licensed, shared or unlicensed spectrum, making them a versatile coverage and capacity solution. However, for Rex Chen, director of...
Open RAN in 2020 was all about communicating the value proposition and gaining validation from major global operators. In 2021, with that validation in hand, the Open RAN ecosystem is pushing toward delivering on those benefits. Priorities include a broader pool of hardware support,...
Analog Devices: 'There have been a lot of different uses of the term small cell'
Despite the current emphasis on small cells operating in higher 5G frequencies, this infrastructure is not actually limited, or defined, by frequency. In fact, 4G small cells operate in sub-3...
According to much of the promotional material for digital pre-distortion (DPD), its performance is based on static quantitative data. Typically, this material shows a DPD spectrum and quotes adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) figures. While this approach addresses fundamental needs, it fails to capture...
O-RAN was created as a catalyst to transform the wireless community, to enable new channels of wireless equipment, and to enable innovation to fulfill the promises made by 3GPP about 5G.
To be successful and cost-effective, open sources of radio equipment and optimized 5G technology...
The U.S. has lagged in midband spectrum availability for 5G compared to the rest of the world. But now, CBRS PAL licenses are in-hand. The first tranche of C-Band spectrum will be available in December. RCR Wireless News looks at the availability of midband...
