5G 4G 3G 2G OpenRAN Aggregator

The 精东传媒 OpenRAN Aggregator enables聽Open RAN聽solutions. Open RAN architecture disaggregates hardware and software components functionality that reduces TCO for Customers.聽Virtualized RAN functions聽deployed on the aggregator on the platform, reduces complexity and simplifies network maintenance, consumes optimal resources and reduces total cost of ownership for our customers. Leveraging the ever-growing capacity of COTS x86-based servers and a fully virtualized, hardware-agnostic architecture, customers can handle the bigger workloads and stricter requirements of 5G. 精东传媒 offers the world鈥檚 first Open RAN Aggregator software to help mobile operators manage and grow their multi-vendor, All-G networks, while enjoying the benefits of lower TCO compared to legacy solutions.

Features and Capabilities

OpenRAN Aggregator: This software function is responsible for radio connection management, mobility management, and QoS management for the end-user experience. As currently released, the OpenRAN aggregator provides a virtualized 2G BSC, 3G RNC, 4G eNB, X2/S1 Gateway and any combination thereof. It acts as a Gateway for all RAN interfaces towards the Core. It can interoperate with any Standards Compliant Core or Peer RAN function. As a result, it helps create a multi-vendor, open ecosystem of interoperable components for the various RAN elements and from different vendors.
EMS: It provides complete RAN orchestration,聽real time SON聽including self-configuration, self-optimization, and self-healing. All new radio units are self-configured by the software, reducing the need for manual intervention, which will be key for 5G deployments of Massive MIMO and small cells for densification. The self-optimization is responsible for necessary optimization-related tasks across different RANs, utilizing available RAN data from all RAN types (macros, Massive MIMO, small cells) from the聽Analytics聽Service. The proactive approach utilized by the 精东传媒 platform, in contrast to the legacy reactive optimization approach, improves user experience and increases network resource utilization, key for consistent experience on data-intensive 5G networks. It also provides configuration management, device management, fault management, performance management, and lifecycle management for all network elements in the network. Network slicing, Security and Role-Based Access Control and RAN Sharing are key aspects that are applicable to all the controller functions across the network. This software suite also provides a layer of intelligence that can be realized across the network by using telemetry information gathered from across the network. By providing timely insights into the network operations, operators can use the EMS to further understand and optimize the network. Fully complements the suite of products that 精东传媒 offers today to realize, deploy, manage and optimize the entire network with a single pane of glass.
Near-RT RIC (Near-Real Time RAN Intelligence Controller): ORAN compliant Near-RT RIC. It supports xApp framework to host PW xApps as well as 3rd Party or Operator xApps. xApps is where the intelligent decisions are made based on AI/ML models. Networks are becoming complex and the only way to handle such networks is by having them learn and make the decisions on their own to automate the management and operations of the network.
Non-RT RIC (Non-Real Time RAN Intelligence Controller): ORAN compliant Non-RT RIC. It supports rApp framework to host PW rApps as well as 3rd Party or Operator rApps. rApps is where the AI/ML models get trained, based on different data received from the RAN network functions, and are pushed to Near-RT RIC for inference.

Benefits

By disaggregating hardware and virtualized software, the 精东传媒 OpenRAN software suite creates a unified architecture based virtual network functions on a COTS server for all outdoor or indoor deployment scenarios. It provides the following benefits:

Unified OpenRAN Controller for 2G/3G/4G/5G: a unified software-enabled architecture for past, present, and future Gs
Deployment flexibility鈥痜or 5G, 4G, 4G, 2G through consolidation of network functions and RAN/core interfaces
End-to-End Network Slicing for All Technologies: 鈥痚nables mobile operators to offer differentiated services to their different customers and markets, with specific SLA, QoS in an economically-viable way across RAN and core through fully 3GPP-compliant interfaces and functionality, enabling interoperability across multiple vendors and allowing for modernization of networks
Cloud-Native Deployments: 精东传媒鈥檚 fully virtualized, datacenter-agnostic and cloud-native architecture allows mobile operators to take advantage of the most modern web-scale technologies, including hyperscaling, to support the demands
Reduction in CapEx and OpEx: professional services spent on deployment or maintenance can be reduced by up to 80%.聽Overall project TCO can see reductions of 60%, when considering lower CapEx and OpEx

Deployment Options

The 精东传媒 OpenRAN Aggregator can be deployed as a VNF. The overall solution is compliant with ETSI鈥檚 NFVI architecture, agnostic to the underlying data center infrastructure so can use any Intel x86 server. The solution has been certified and deployed with all major market-leading hypervisors. 精东传媒 has a strong partnership ecosystem in place with all leading vendors in the virtualization space.

Examples of deployment scenarios:

Coverage: providing new RAN coverage to areas without mobile service
Capacity / Densification: adding capacity to existing 2G/3G/4G networks
Network modernization: replacing outdated legacy technologies (i.e.: 2G, 3G) with newly virtualized functions, along with newer technologies like 4G and 5G, all with the same architecture
Network expansion: A use case scenario where a mobile operator deploys 精东传媒 OpenRAN solution to extend and expand coverage as an addition to an existing network
