Wind River supporting open source innovation for 5G networks
Wind River has already supplied open source–based operating system and infrastructure platforms for RAN networks, such as UMTS and LTE, for over a decade. As 5G continues to be deployed, Wind River hopes to continue to align its open source platform infrastructure products and O-RAN.
The O-RAN Alliance was founded by telecommunications operators, and the organisation aims tp further innovating RAN built on virtualized network elements, white box hardware, and standardized interfaces. With greater standardization and as interfaces become more open, this can accelerate RAN innovation and lower network costs to ultimately make virtual RAN easier to accomplish. As an infrastructure provider, Wind River will focus on O-RAN workgroups such as the Cloudification and Orchestration Workgroup and the White Box Hardware Workgroup.
Virtual RAN and C-RAN are two of the most common use cases for Wind River Linux and Wind River Titanium Cloud. Yocto project–based Wind River Linux and the StarlingX technologies available in Titanium Cloud can help customers deploy virtualized services faster, at a lower cost, and with strict uptime.
