NEC demonstrates open RAN integrations in O-RAN Global PlugFest Fall 2022
Summary
Additionally, NEC was also awarded TIPs "Requirements Compliant Ribbon" for its three 5G massive MIMO Open RAN Radio Units in March 2022. It is a fully cloud-native solution with high-performance software-based User Plane Function (UPF) at the edge for enabling low latency use cases. NECs 4G/5G Converged Core supports multi-cloud in flexible deployment scenarios, including as a container on virtual machines or baremetal, hybrid (private and public cloud), and multi-vendor ecosystems. The test successfully demonstrated how a Converged Core is easily implemented with best-of-breed products while having minimum impact on existing operations and creating vital resource efficiency and cost reductions. Netcracker deployed its Non-Real-Time RIC, a key component of NEC/Netcrackers Open RAN Domain Orchestration solution, in Berlin i14y Lab, part of the Joint European PlugFest hosted by Deutsche Telekom, EANTC, and Vodafone.
