Vodafone and Intel working on OpenRAN tech Want to break Ericsson, Huawei and Nokia’s grip Vodafone has teamed up with Intel and other silicon vendors to design its own chip architecture for nascent OpenRAN network technology. The move is part of a cunning plan to break the grip that Ericsson, Huawei and Nokia have over the global telecoms equipment market with their proprietary technologies OpenRAN allows operators to mix and match suppliers in their radio networks and its development has taken on greater prominence since some governments either banned or discouraged the use of China's Huawei in national networks. Vodafone's initiative, based at its digital innovation and R&D centre in Malaga, will also contribute to the European Union's efforts to bolster its chip industry and double its share of global production to 20 per cent after it lost ground to Asian and US suppliers. Vodafone's director of network architecture Santiago Tenorio told Reuters that OpenRAN would enable the mobile operator to quickly add new digital services and to optimise networks using artificial intelligence (AI). https://fudzilla.com/news/network/54...n-openran-tech |
