CommAgility awarded UK government funding for 5G Open RAN project
December 20 2021 - 8:00AM
Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. (NYSE American: WTT) announced
that its CommAgility brand is part of a consortium awarded funding
from the UK government to develop 5G infrastructure for an Open RAN
project. CommAgility is part of the 5G DU-Volution project, which
will evolve distributed unit (DU) devices to meet emerging industry
requirements including reduced power, smaller footprint, improved
spectrum efficiency and lower latency. CommAgility was chosen for
the project due to its capabilities in 5G PHY and stack hardware
and software, and it will be contributing its extensive 5G baseband
processing software portfolio and expertise to enable the
development of the DU.
The 5G DU-Volution project aims to integrate
products into a DU component ready for deployment in 5G networks.
The consortium is led by ADVA Optical Networking. Other partners
alongside CommAgility are AccelerComm, British Telecom, the
University of York, and Scotland5GCentre. The consortium partners
were awarded the funding as one of the winning teams in the UK's
Future Radio Access Network Competition (FRANC).
The UK government has recently announced a joint
ambition, with mobile network operators, for 35% of the UK’s mobile
network traffic to be carried over open and interoperable RAN
architectures by 2030. Open RAN (O-RAN) splits the equipment needed
for the Radio Access Network (RAN) into multiple components,
including the DU. This undertakes much of the signal processing to
convert radio signals to data that can be transported over optical
and wireline networks to the core network.
“Open RAN is a key enabler in developing 5G
infrastructure, and creating flexible, efficient 5G networks,” said
Edward Young, Senior Vice President and Managing Director at
CommAgility. “We’re proud to be part of the 5G DU-Volution project,
and we look forward to working closely together with our
partners.”
