(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Mavenir, focused
on transforming mobile network economics for Communications Service
Providers (CSPs), together with Baicells, announce xRAN interface
interoperability testing of a Baicells Nova high-power outdoor small
cell for LTE with Mavenir Cloud RAN.
This
interworking demonstrates the power of open interfaces and the start of
a new ecosystem for operators where they can truly purchase the RAN
Software and remote radios to an ‘open interface’ breaking the legacy
closed-wall approach.
Mavenir’s
Cloud RAN approach centralizes the baseband processing in a cloud
native vBBU which can be combined or split into two parts known as the
Central and Distributed units (CU & DU) with optimized fronthaul
transmission between the RRU and the vBBU (CU & DU) over Ethernet.
Mavenir vBBU software is easily decomposed into vCU-CP (Control Plane),
vCU-UP (User Plane) and vDU which can be deployed in many configurations
to meet the performance requirements of the application under
consideration. The decomposed vBBU is fully integrated with Mavenir’s
vEPC, 5GC and CloudRange™ NFV management and organization (MANO)
framework operating on standard open-hardware platforms (COTS).
Coupled
with Baicells’ RRU supporting flexible fronthaul split for radio
access, the solution is exclusively based on network virtualization
(NFV/SDN) for centralized baseband processing in the cloud. Network-wide
centralization, coordination and scalability are just some of the
benefits.
“The
highly modular software platform brings the benefits of cloud-based
virtualization to 4G networks and can be software upgraded for 5G NSA
and NR (non-standalone and new radio). This product combination will
support 5G NR architecture in Jan 2019,” said John Baker, SVP Business
Development, Mavenir. “The objective is that we are helping the
operators drive the cost down on the radio side, which is where they
spend the majority of their money today, by having an open RAN.”
“The
xRAN interoperability testing between Baicells and Mavenir proves that
the future of 5G has arrived,” said Minchul Ho, Vice-President of
Vertical Sales, Baicells. “The Cloud RAN architecture provides operators
several benefits including reduced opex from maintenance, economies of
scale efficiencies and vast improved performance due to greater
coordination among cells.”
The
xRAN interface specification, released in September, specifies the User
plane, Control Plane and the Management plane interfaces.
