“IBM’s hybrid cloud, automation and security solutions are utilized by some of the world’s largest telcos to support their efforts for the next era of communication,” stated
Keysight’s open RAN solutions will support IBM in demonstrating O-RAN solutions to CSPs seeking partnerships. These open RAN solutions will enable vendors to verify conformance, interoperability, performance and security, resulting in the deployment of fully interoperable RAN equipment. IBM’s CoE intends to use Keysight’s radio unit simulator, RuSIM, to validate O-RAN distributed units (O-DU); CoreSIM, to verify the performance of open RAN equipment and Nemo Wireless Network Solutions to optimize and monitor wireless networks.
Keysight delivers end-to-end system test solutions to an open RAN ecosystem that consists of more than 300 mobile operators, vendors and research institutes. Keysight contributes in-depth technical expertise in front-haul transport interfaces, energy consumption optimization and network security, to drive maturity in O-RAN specifications that will accelerate the adoption of open RAN architectures.
