PUNE, India, April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ ReportsnReports added LTE & 5G NR-Based CBRS Networks Market: 2020 - 2030 - Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts with 486 no. of pages report to its online research library.
After many years of regulatory, standardization and technical implementation activities, the United States dynamic, three-tiered, hierarchical framework to coordinate shared use of 150 MHz of spectrum in the 3.5 GHz CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) band has finally become a commercial reality. Although the shared spectrum arrangement is access technology neutral, the 3GPP cellular wireless ecosystem is at the forefront of CBRS adoption given the desirability of mid-band spectrum for both LTE and 5G NR network buildouts due its optimal blend of propagation characteristics and capacity.
Japan Pushes the O-RAN Alliance
Akihabara News (Tokyo) With the addition of Rakuten Mobile in early November, all four of Japan’s mobile operators (Docomo, KDDI, SoftBank, and Rakuten) have joined the O-RAN Alliance, a worldwide community promoting open and fully interoperable radio access networks (RAN).
NTT Docomo was one of the founding members in February 2018, and the others joined not long afterward.
In basic terms, RAN are an essential part of any mobile network which communicates via radio frequencies between a core network and devices such as mobile phones and computers.
Open RAN (O-RAN) stands in contrast to the RAN operated by a handful of companies (Huawei, Nokia, and Ericsson) in the sense that it doesn’t rely on the proprietary technology of a single firm but is instead a set of agreed standards, specifications, and interfaces to which multiple vendors may contribute and participate. This difference could be analogized to Apple computers, which are a closed sy
