Widely known for its modems that power smartphones including 5G, Qualcomm already has a RAN line built for small cells. Its chipsets are present, for example, in infrastructure that Rakuten Mobile deployed in its fully virtualized mobile network in Japan, which was the first at-scale vRAN deployment. “The timing is later than the market would ideally like but this is the early days of RAN transformation and the next two years will see OpenRAN becoming more established,” Blaber said via email. “Qualcomm will be launching products into a more mature market with open interfaces and best practice implementation that is much more developed.”“The new additions to Qualcomm 5G RAN Platforms portfolio provide a foundation that is designed to enable existing vendors to complement their existing product portfolio and build and commercialize their products quickly, as well as open a path for emerging infrastructure players,” wrote Malladi.Qualcomm has already worked with numerous smaller vendors, for example Airspan Networks and Altiostar. Airspan used Qualcomm’s FSM Small Cell 4G platform for small cells that Rakuten deployed in Japan. Its 5G NR mmWave distributed radio unit for Rakuten’s 5G network uses Qualcomm’s FSM100xx 5G chipset.“AT&T has been at the forefront of every generation of wireless technology, including 5G, and we will continue to develop and deploy the most innovative solutions to meet the needs of our customers, said AT&T CTO Andre Fuetsch in a statement. “But we cannot do it alone, and that is why we are excited to work with Qualcomm Technologies on future 5G network deployments such as vRAN and open RAN.” -- ???????? | |||
