Revolutionizing 5G Infrastructure OpenRAN, LOKI, and the Open Telecom

Open RAN is gaining traction. It is accelerating innovation in the radio access network by promoting multi-organization, interoperable offerings, which can be easily integrated into communications service provider networks.

The radio base station in the 5G New Radio network allows 5G user devices to connect to the 5G Core network. To provide flexibility and allow scalable, cost-effective deployment options, it is split into the following functional units:

Radio Unit (RU) – handles RF modulation, digital beamforming and parts of the physical layer
Distributed Unit (DU) – responsible for real-time layer 1 and layer 2 scheduling functions
Centralized Unit (CU) – performs higher layer 2 and layer 3 functions
These functions are available as cloud-native network functions, designed and implemented to run inside containers. That enables them to be hosted on LOKI executing on COTS hardware, with integration promoted by an open ecosystem lab.
