Private cellular networks offer tremendous benefits for enterprises: better security than Wi-Fi, smooth handovers between radios, improved throughput and latency, and future-proof support for a diverse set of use cases.
An expert partner is necessary to bring private networks to their full capabilities and tailor...
One of the animating conceits of Open RAN as a technology set and what’s often characterized as a “movement,” is enabling operators to mix-and-match hardware and software from multiple vendors into a radio system optimized for a particular deployment scenario. Offsetting that is one...
New Vodafone white paper suggests multi-vendor integration labs, factory pre-staging, and ongoing network operations
One of the primary criticisms, or opportunities depending on your world view, around multi-vendor, interoperable Open RAN is around added system integration complexity as compared to single-vendor integrated RAN systems. There...
In building a cloud-native Open RAN network, "We found that we had to become a system integrator"
While DISH said this week on an earnings call it is behind schedule on its 5G deployment, the new facilities-based wireless carrier said it will light up service...
Note, this article is continued from a previous entry, under the headline: 'A "different beast" in the telco pack – often it’s not about 5G at all, says Orange'. For the first instalment, go here.
We should rewind, and hit play again on the Safran...
Orange Business Services, the IT and system integrator (SI) division of mobile operator Orange, has delivered a non-cellular Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) based indoor tracking system for aerospace manufacturer Safran Aircraft Engines across two sites in France. The solution pulls together tracker tags from...
Telenor has selected NEC and Cisco to deploy 5G xHaul transport networks in Norway and Denmark. Deemed “a flagship initiative,” this project positions Telenor as one of the first carriers to benefit from the Global System Integrator Agreement (GSIA) established between NEC and Cisco...
System integrators have perhaps the toughest job in the wireless business. They need to provide world-class service to companies large and small seeking to develop their own private networks — but with far fewer resources than the big service providers have. While this has...

An Open RAN conversation with Eng Wei Koo, Director of Technology, 5G Solutions, Keysight Technologies
With greenfield builds in Japan and the U.S., and a major commitment from European operators, Open RAN is poised to have a meaningful impact on the way networks are bought...
The disintermediated nature of open virtualized radio access networks (Open vRANs) is the key to the flexibility, cost savings and innovation that have made it a part of the plan for many mobile network operators (MNOs) that are expanding a 4G network or embarking...
The arrival of RAN disaggregation and the corresponding standards for open interfaces, hardware, software decoupling, network intelligence and automation has led to the expansion of a diverse ecosystem of RAN component players, specifically Radio Unit (RU) vendors. While this ecosystem allows operators to pick...
Venture capital-backed systems integrator and major Motorola Solutions channel partner Mobile Communications America has acquired a fellow Motorola Solutions partner and wireless integrator, Crosspoint Communications.
