The benefits of Open RAN

The benefits of Open RAN

If you want a sustainable network, Open RAN provides greater choice, flexibility, and agility for 5G and beyond. It delivers faster innovation, supply chain security, simplified operations, and a more competitive vendor ecosystem.

The Fujitsu Open RAN solution encompasses O-RAN-compliant RUs, vCUDUs, fronthaul and backhaul transport, software, and 5G services. While the Fujitsu Open RAN solution is a best-of-breed technology offering, we are committed to Open RAN and know each network is unique. However you want your network configured, Fujitsu Open RAN helps to speed service introduction and reduce total cost of ownership.

At Fujitsu, our purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation, which we are applying to the RAN network. For virtual RAN (vRAN), we plan a 50% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2025 compared to conventional base stations. Our RUs support advanced sleep mode that automatically turns PA (power amplifier) on and off according to the traffic, which ultimately leads to the reduction in power consumption. Since RUs consume particularly large amounts of power within a radio access network, the reduction in power consumption contributes significantly

Our Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) uses advanced AI technology that can orchestrate and control Open RAN networks. Applications inside of the SMO perform RU and vCU/DU sleep control depending on traffic and user quality conditions so that they can reduce power consumption, delivering a sustainable transformation for your network. to sustainability transformation.

highly personalised communication solutions that truly satisfy customers.

Earlier in 2023, DOCOMO adopted the OREX (Open RAN Ecosystem Experience) brand to strengthen the support scheme for international telecom operators in delivering the Open RAN system.

“OREX provides the Open RAN solution, creating a new network experience that is truly open to the world,” explains Sadayuki Abeta, NTT DOCOMO’s Global Head of Open RAN Solutions and OREX Evangelist.

“We closely collaborate with multiple partners across different layers such as software, Communication-as-a-Service (CaaS) or O-cloud, accelerator and server vendors to establish the Open RAN ecosystem while considering commercial operations.

“We offer the Open RAN experience through various means, including pre-integration solutions or packaged solutions,” Abeta adds. “Additionally, we provide a shared open lab where
