The RAN market is headed down, says Dell’Oro. Following the >40% rise between 2017 and 2021, RAN revenues stabilised in 2022, and are on target to decline sharply in 2023. Market conditions are expected to remain challenging in 2024 as the Indian RAN market pulls back, though the pace of the global decline this year and for the remainder of ...
Parallel Wireless (PW), the US O-RAN specialist has deployed 1,500 O-RAN sites across Africa. Expanding mobile connectivity throughout Africa is a unique challenge due to unreliable or inaccessible sources of electricity and challenging landscapes that make physical access difficult. PW partnered with regional telecommunications providers and governments in countries including Nigeria, Tanzania, Guinea Conakry, Ghana, South Sudan, Uganda, DRC, and ...
For example, what caught David Manners' eye was that the first money handed out under the US Chips Act was to a UK company - BAe Systems...
Aalyria has won a development contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) to deploy Spacetime – its O-RAN compliant “network orchestration” technology – at the agency’s ECSAT 5G/6G Hub in Harwell, Oxfordshire. The goal is to “unlock new 5G/6G Terrestrial (TN) and Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) capabilities,” say the two parties, and Aalyria – a spin out from Google – is ...

Orange and Vodafone have agreed to share O-RAN networks in Europe, with RAN sharing in rural areas where they both have mobile networks. The first commercial sites to be deployed under this agreement are planned to start this year in a rural area of Romania, near Bucharest. They will provide an initial real-life experience of O-RAN based on the integration ...
The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology has joined the O-RAN Alliance. “NIST will promote open and transparent standards for 5G and other next-generation wireless technologies to help ensure data privacy and protect against cyber threats,” says US Under Secretary for Comnerce and NIST Director Laurie E. Locascio.. NIST works with a wide range of stakeholders, ...
The universities of York, Bristol and Surrey are to share £28 million from the government to work with Ericsson, Nokia and Samsung on developing future O-RAN networking technologies. The universities will work with UK academics and industry players to ensure future network are designed to support O-RAN to promote a more diverse and innovative telecoms market. O-RAN enables operators to ...
O-RAN is a major disruptor for the communications industry and one in which pre-silicon validation is essential, says Dylan McGrath of Keysight Technologies. The wireless communications industry is moving rapidly from closed, proprietary radio access networks (RANs) to a disaggregated open RAN (O-RAN) that breaks the traditional hardware-centric RAN into several sections (radios, hardware and virtualised functions) using open interfaces ...
Virgin Media O2, NEC and Rakuten Symphony have announced that multi-vendor O-RAN is being deployed in Virgin Media O2’s network and is now operational and handling commercial traffic. The first deployments are in macro-sites in the Northamptonshire region. “The successful activation of Virgin Media O2’s first UK macro-sites demonstrates the potential of the multi-vendor Open RAN model,” says Virgin Media ...
