Open RAN promises many things; disaggregation, virtualization, a wider ecosystem, less reliance on a small number of suppliers, multivendor interoperability, a greater role for white box systems, more cost effective and scalable solutions, faster time to deployment and integration opportunities with edge computing. In time, many of these will be delivered but there is still […]
Carving Up the 5G RAN
The migration to 5G is critical for carriers who are also moving towards cloud RANs and wanting, where possible, to move to open solutions. 5G will bring higher bandwidths, lower latencies, new radio technologies and a new wireless core. RAN disaggregation enabled by cloud RANs and open interfaces gives carriers the opportunity to benefit from […]
OFC2020 – The Optical Networking and Communication Conference & Exhibition
San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA. Due to the number of cancellations received and the Corona Virus situation Simon Stanley will no longer be attending OFC this year. Please contact Simon if you would like to set up any calls related to OFC or any other topic.
5G Changes the Game
5G is rolling out faster than previous wireless generations and will have a much bigger impact on telecoms infrastructure and the supply chain. As mentioned in my previous post, 5G introduces a new radio specification (5G NR), a next generation wireless core network (NGC) and a modular RAN architecture that directly supports disaggregation and open solutions. […]
Opening Up 5G RAN Development
Behind the headline grabbing transition from 4G to 5G wireless networks there is a significant shift in the radio access network (RAN) from a centralised architecture to a virtualized/cloud (vRAN) architecture. This shift in architecture enables the opening up of the RAN and associated infrastructure solutions, including xHaul networks and edge computing, through public and […]
FTTx Mantra – Building Next-Generation Scalable Access Networks
In a bid to create multi-gigabit-capable access networks, operators across the globe are looking to build converged data networks that are scalable, resilient and can support multiple use-cases for both wired and wireless connectivity. However, creating such a service-oriented-network requires detailing out several considerations, including required network characteristics, architecture considerations, overlaying technologies and desired service […]
What’s happening at the Edge
Edge computing is becoming a critical part of the virtualized infrastructure for wireless and wireline communications, however it is not clear yet what software and hardware platforms will be most important for network operators and solution providers. Edge computing platforms will cover a wide range of server performance and may need to support extended temperature […]
ECOC Exhibition and Conference 2019
Dublin, Ireland Simon Stanley will be at ECOC 2019 on the Tuesday afternoon 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.
5G Mobile xHaul Test Specifications & Use Cases for Field Measurements
The 5G RAN evolution changes the mobile fronthaul and backhaul network architecture to deliver ultra-high capacity, availability and coverage. As wireless and wireline carrier networks prepare for 5G supported networks, field network technicians and service administrators face new challenges in implementing and testing optical wireline equipment and fiber. From fiber testing and CPRI, to eCPRI, […]
Edge Computing Platforms: Bringing the cloud out to the edge
5G has rapidly risen to the top of the industry agenda. Leading service providers are working to finalize target network architectures for 5G RAN and mobile edge computing. The shift to virtualization has enabled service providers to host cloud services in large and hyperscale data centers but has not removed the need for localized computing […]
