Movandi and Mavenir collaborate on 5G mmWave Open RAN
Movandi has announced a strategic collaboration with Mavenir to provide Movandi’s BeamX 5G mmWave technology for the recently announced 5G mmWAVE Open Radio Access Network (RAN) smart city in Thailand. Mavenir’s Open RAN radio units (RU) for the smart city private network include Movandi’s mmWave RF ICs and phased array modules (PAM) that together enable an ultra-low power RU delivering superior 5G performance in a smaller antenna array.
Mavenir’s cloud-native, open architecture-based private network platform enables service providers to deliver on the promise of 5G. The software-based platform transforms mobile communication private networks into a virtualized environment where devices, applications and services run on an automated network using open architecture, containers and artificial intelligence (AI). In addition to using Movandi’s RF chips and power amplifier module, Mavenir’s end-to-end 5G mmWave Open RAN includes a 5G core with Open API technology standards, working in sync with cloud-native solutions to support private on-premises smart city applications such as real-time diagnostics of traffic, public safety, digital signage and environmental conditions.
“Our technology partnership with Movandi enables us to deliver robust, high-performance 5G mmWave RU solutions that will help drive deployment of O-RAN based infrastructure,” said Pardeep Kohli, President and CEO, Mavenir. “Movandi’s mmWave RF chipsets, algorithms, beamformer technology and PAM antenna provide a high-performance, low-power RF front-end for our cloud-native Open RAN solution.”
Movandi’s mmWave technology enables the multi-gigabit speeds, low latency and reliability required by 5G smart city networks operating tens of thousands of IoT sensors, smart poles, drones and other connected devices that need ultra-fast data uplinks to the cloud for real-time analysis and smart city management.
“By joining forces with Mavenir on 5G mmWave Open RAN, we’re delivering innovative mmWave silicon and software technology to enable the first 5G-powered smart city in Thailand, showcasing the future of our increasingly cloud-connected digital world,” said Maryam Rofougaran, CEO and co-founder of Movandi.
5G Open RAN has significant momentum in the market with ABI Research forecasting network vendor spending to reach $10 billion by 2026-27 and then surpass traditional RAN at $30 billion by 2030.
