Nokia is committed to lead an open mobile future with strong network performance and security
As 5G continues to be rolled out, the industry has begun to explore the potential benefits of an expanded ecosystem of mobile access players in the market. Many interfaces of the 5G network between network elements are open with established procedures ensuring multi-vendor interoperability.
Nokia's O-RAN support bases on its field-proven AirScale platform. This ensures high performance and feature richness which Nokia customers have come to expect. Nokia has made significant investments in O-RAN, leading the early deployment of RIC and the open fronthaul.
is a new optional virtualized 5G optimization technology that adds programmability to an existing or new RAN and allows SON-like (Self-Optimizing Networks) capabilities to be added. Nokia and AT&T are jointly creating an RIC software platform and have run successful trials with external applications, called "xApps", at the edge of the CSP's live 5G mmWave network on an Akraino-based Open Cloud Platform.
The fronthaul interface between radio Units (RU, e.g. Remote Radio Heads or massive MIMO antennas) and baseband units (in particular the Distributed Units (DU)) is one of the focus areas in Open RAN.
The RIC platform provides functions and interfaces that boost optimization through policy-driven closed loop automation and faster, more flexible service deployments, as well as programmability with AI/ML technologies within the RAN.
