Welcome to our March issue!
The 5G Era is officially here as witnessed during Mobile World 2018 in Barcelona. #MWC18 was a fantastic event for Radisys as we unveiled new solutions and partnerships for how we’re enabling the path to 5G with RAN Aware MEC solutions – the key is Open.
Our open mobile innovations for 4G and 5G were on full display in the ONF booth. Napatech along with Xilinx featured the industry's first virtualized RAN Accelerator, powered by Radisys' market-leading MobilityEngine™ RAN software. Our CEO, Brian Bronson, met with Mobile World Live to highlight how Radisys is delivering open telecom solutions to break the vendor lock-in and help mobile operators evolve the traditional ways of building mobile networks. Check out the full video of Brian here.
Among the many announcements at MWC18, perhaps one of the most interesting was on the formation of the carrier-led ORAN initiative to drive more openness into the evolution of radio access networks. Radisys continues to be strongly committed to Open Telecom and in this edition of our OpenReach newsletter, we feature a new Radisys sponsored whitepaper with Heavy Reading on the growing importance of emerging Open RAN architectures for 4G & 5G.
In light of these initiatives, we are excited to let the community know that we now offer an open-source RAN software for the Qualcomm FSM9955 chip-set. You can download this software here.
