LONDON, Mar. 2, 2021/PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

    Subex[https://www.subex.com/], a pioneer in Digital Trust, announced today

that it has become a member of the O-RAN Alliance to support the development

and standardisation of Open RAN (radio access networks). With its expertise in

advanced network analytics based on machine learning, Subex joins the alliance

to help drive innovation in the radio access network domain – ultimately

facilitating Open RAN that leverages embedded artificial intelligence (AI) to

maximise network performance.

    The O-RAN Alliance aims to transform the RAN industry towards an open,

intelligent, virtualised, and fully interoperable mobile network ecosystem. The

alliance is responsible for creating O-RAN standards and reference

architectures to enable a more competitive and vibrant RAN supplier ecosystem

with faster innovation. Today, O-RAN Alliance has become a world-wide community

of mobile network operators, vendors, and research and academic institutions.

    According to Dell'Oro Group, by 2025, 10% of the total RAN market [

https://www.sdxcentral.com/articles/news/open-ran-set-to-capture-10-of-market-by-2025/2020/09/]

will be captured by Open RAN hardware and software. ABI Research has predicted

that Open RAN Capex spending will overtake traditional RAN spending by 2028[

Leading European telecommunications operators including Deutsche Telekom,

Orange, Telefónica and Vodafone have already committed to deploying Open RAN as

part of their 5G rollouts.

    The open standards promoted by O-RAN Alliance will allow the development of

open interfaces and faster deployment of radio access networks by leveraging

technologies such as AI and real-time analytics. As 5G moves towards becoming

mainstream, Open RAN at the network edge is expected to benefit applications

including autonomous vehicles and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions.

    Suresh Chintada, CTO, Subex, comments, "As of today, Subex has proven its

vendor-agnostic capabilities catering to use cases that alleviate the critical

business challenges faced by network planning and optimisation teams, via its

capacity management solution. Through its innovative AI-first approach, Subex

helps network teams achieve a higher level of efficiency and accuracy in making

smart decisions, resulting in the maximisation of return on network investment

and customer experience enhancements. As a next step towards evolving our

solution, we are proud to be working with the O-RAN Alliance. Within the

alliance, Subex will be extensively involved in working groups related to RAN

Intelligent Controller (RIC) and will bring innovation using machine learning

and deep learning technologies. Open RAN brings considerable innovation

potential to the telecommunications industry. The joint effort of all vendors

involved in the alliance will greatly accelerate innovations in the space, and

we're excited to be part of it."

    The O-RAN Alliance was founded in February 2018 by AT&T, China Mobile,

Deutsche Telekom, NTT DOCOMO, and Orange, and has since become a global

community of mobile network operators, vendors, and research and academic

institutions operating in the RAN industry.
