NEC Corporation along with ecosystem partners Arm, Qualcomm Technologies, Red Hat, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) have successfully demonstrated the end-to-end operation of NEC\u2019s Open virtual Radio Access Network (vRAN) and 5G Core virtual User Plane Function (UPF).<\/p>\n
The demonstration utilised the HPE ProLiant servers running Arm Neoverse-based CPUs and the Qualcomm X100 5G RAN Accelerator Card, with Red Hat OpenShift in conditions \u201cequivalent to a commercial environment\u201d, NEC said on Wednesday. Juniper Networks\u2019s fronthaul switch ACX7024 and layer 3 Switch QFX5120-48Y, and Viavi Solutions\u2019 TM500 Network Tester and TeraVM Core Simulator were also used.<\/p>\n
The Japanese multinational said its Open vRAN and the 5G Core vUPF deployed on the same server as the vCU are \u201ccarrier-grade quality cloud-native applications\u201d, and comply with the O-RAN Alliance and 3GPP standards.<\/p>\n
According to NEC, the use of an in-line accelerator demonstrates \u201cOpen RAN enabling a multi-vendor landscape using modern network equipment, and workload-optimized compute independent of CPU architecture\u201d, as opposed to all workload processing being done on legacy, single-vendor equipment.<\/p>\n
Katsumi Tanoue, General Manager, Global Mobile Solution Department at NEC, said, “This demonstration is a proof-point where the latest HW (hardware) technologies, combined with carrier-grade Open RAN SW (software) result in energy efficient, innovative and competitive RAN solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
