The shift to cloud RAN architecture is bringing significant opportunities for wireless service providers to build out a much more agile and efficient 5G wireless infrastructure. The cloud RAN architecture enables the use of virtualized, cloud native, and open solutions. By disaggregating the RAN and separating the hardware and software platforms, wireless service providers can […]
ECOC Exhibition and Conference 2023
Glasgow, Scotland Simon Stanley will be at ECOC 2023 on the Tuesday and Wednesday. ECOC is the largest conference and exhibition on optical communications in Europe. Please let us know if you would like to set up a meeting.
Industry Innovations Drive Metro and Long-Haul Network Performance
After several years during which high speed coherent network deployments have been shifting from 100G/200G to 400G links using the C-band we are now seeing a significant move towards higher speeds and more use of multiband solutions. Multiple communications service providers (CSPs) in leading markets have successfully upgraded core network links using first-generation 800G coherent […]
TDM Network Transformation to the Telco Cloud
TDM-based communications networks were supposed to be dead and buried by now… but they’re not. Doing nothing is becoming increasingly expensive as TDM network usage and revenue shrink but the fixed cost to run these massive networks is still in-place. In this webinar, Ribbon will address how to rationally shed the costs of running these […]
Optical Networking Digital Symposium Day 2 Session 2: Expanding the Metro, Regional, and Long-Haul, Capacity and Reach – September 14, 2023
As 800G upgrades are rolling out across the globe we will explore the opportunities and challenges presented by these developments. Topics will include:
Optical Networking Digital Symposium Day 1 Session 1: Coherent Pluggables – The Next Chapter
In this session, we will explore the challenges and the latest developments for both direct optical connections and coherent routing. Topics will include:
First open RAN / vRAN installations expected to ramp up
As confidence in the readiness of the ecosystem develops, the number of service providers completing their first open RAN / virtualized RAN (vRAN) installations is growing quickly. vRAN allows service providers to disaggregate the software and hardware in their wireless infrastructure and benefit from the use of virtualized network functions and generic server hardware. By […]
Six benefits of virtualized RAN
The disaggregation of software and hardware via the deployment of a virtualized RAN (vRAN) can deliver significant benefits to both service providers and users. 5G has been designed to support vRAN, and the open RAN specifications are based on vRAN architectures. The use of vRAN and open interfaces enables a sustainable solution based on common […]
Open RAN platforms to support far edge AI inference
A key benefit of using general-purpose processors to implement open RAN/vRAN is that the same platforms can be used to support AI inference and other applications at the far edge of the network, such as cell site routers (CSRs) and content delivery and hosting. These edge platforms can be used to host virtualized applications closer […]
Open RAN Platforms and Architectures Operator Survey Report
This new open RAN platforms and architectures report uncovers the views within service providers on the readiness of the open RAN and vRAN ecosystem and first installations, the expected benefits from using open RAN / vRAN platforms and architectures, and the leading applications. The report covers the following: When and where are open RAN deployments […]
