Open RAN is more complex in terms of management and control than previous RAN generations. Open RAN means high-capacity, high-bandwidth, 5G+ use cases, multiple vendors, and huge amounts of network data and metrics. Efficient Open RAN management tools are urgently needed. Answering an urgent need for efficient Open RAN management tools I’m Blake Hlavaty, here

Intelligent applications with network-focused machine learning (ML) models and inherent telecommunications expertise can significantly improve mobile network operators’ (MNOs) network performance. As 5G networks continue to evolve, these applications will help complex 5G+ networks with physical and multi-cloud components function at full capacity and capability, and provide expanded functionalities enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) technologies

Network Lifecycle Management Meets Xaas, Giving Service Providers New Opportunities We live and work in a hyperconnected data-first world in which the network has become central to the organization’s vision, strategy and success. Whereas a decade ago, enterprise networks were a discrete, siloed asset, today they are an integral driver of virtually every business function.

Get your shovels ready The floodgates to the $42.5 billion federal Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program funds are starting to open. In December 2023, Louisiana became the first state to be approved, unlocking the state’s $1.3 billion allocation. “We will start executing on shovel-ready projects in 2024,” said Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards.

Sustainability features in optical networking Sustainability is built into Fujitsu’s DNA and the 1FINITY Ultra Optical System continues to raise the bar by achieving a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions across the network. It achieves this in the T900 by applying Fujitsu’s liquid cooling technology, the first time this has been done in optical networking

For the typical organization, the day-to-day business focus is on how to keep moving forward, not looking back. The business of network operations is no different. Yet, as many communication service providers (CSPs) and other network operators look forward to the next big technology, they often fail to deal with legacy infrastructure that is holding

According to LightCounting/Téral Research, the global 5G Open Virtualized RAN (vRAN) market is set to triple in size by 2027. Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are now deciding between two architectural approaches to the accelerator aspect of mobile networking: inline and lookaside. Today’s decisions will be the building blocks for tomorrow’s mobile networks, so the choice

While ICT networks appear to have undergone a seismic shift in design and operation since the COVID-19 pandemic, the changes that network managers are dealing with today have been building for several years now, including the move to managed SD-WAN services. Other changes include the accelerating transition from on-premise private networks to cloud-based private, public

One of the great things about O-RAN is that you can combine equipment and software from multiple vendors. But sometimes things that look great on paper don’t work out as you might expect. I’m Ladan Pickering. Let’s have an open dialogue about O-RAN system integration. Integration is critical to O-RAN deployment Integration is a critical

Since the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) first announced the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, there has been considerable discussion about the opportunity it presents to close the digital divide across America. With more than $40 billion in funding to support planning, mapping and deployment of broadband networks, the outlook appears bright.
