RESTON, VA, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/-

    - P.I. Works' rApps to be interoperable with VMware's Non-Real-Time RIC

Platform to enable the automation and optimization of Open RAN networks

    P.I. Works, the leading provider of AI-driven mobile network management

solutions, has announced its rApps are now interoperable with VMware's

Non-Real-Time RIC (RAN Intelligent Controller) platform, which will allow for

the efficient automation and optimization of both existing and Open RAN mobile

network elements. The solution will enable operators to make the shift toward

introducing O-RAN into their existing networks.

    With 5G technologies being widely deployed across the globe, O-RAN is

poised to become the first choice of operators as they overhaul their current

Radio Access Networks, especially given it is designed to accommodate

multi-vendor equipment through open interfaces. As such, as RAN evolves from

the current architecture to Open RAN, automated network management via a

standardized Radio Intelligence Controller (RIC) will become essential for CSPs

in abstracting the complexity of their heterogeneous networks and thus

improving customer experience.

    Lakshmi Mandyam, Vice President of Product Management and Partner

Ecosystems, Service Provider & Edge, VMware said, "We are committed to

delivering world-class network management solutions that not just meet, but

exceed customer expectations. Our collaboration with P.I. Works adds advanced

automation and optimization capabilities to RIC platform to help service

providers make the most of their RAN modernization efforts."

    Djakhongir Siradjev, Chief Technology Officer at P.I. Works noted: "As a

global provider of mobile network automated management solutions, P.I. Works

has always seen the need for open and standardized network landscapes in order

to achieve the interoperability and thus efficiency needed to maximize

subscriber experiences. We believe that our collaboration with VMware will pave

way for this within the O-RAN ecosystem and drive innovation to build a better,

more sustainable future for the industry."
