NextNav Joins OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation to Advance Open RAN CU/DU Development
Summary
NextNav joined the OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation, a Linux Foundation-hosted initiative to advance open, secure, and interoperable Open RAN CU/DU implementations. NextNav will collaborate on integrating the 3GPP Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) into the OCUDU Technical Project to extend the open-source RAN stack for integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) and resilient positioning and timing (PNT) use cases. The company brings nearly 20 years of PNT expertise and experience operating the world’s first 5G PNT network, which it will apply to make PRS a native capability in open-source 5G/6G stacks. The move aims to accelerate adoption of open-source RAN for public cellular, private wireless, and hybrid terrestrial/satellite networks and to support AI-native network capabilities.
