One of the key principles of the Open vRAN ecosystem that Cisco and its ecosystem partners announced earlier this year, is to establish open, standard interfaces and management for vRAN. Recently the xRAN Forum has defined the use of IETF’s NETCONF/YANG standard for programmatically configuring and managing its lower layer split RAN architecture.
We are proud to have taken a lead role, working closely with top tier operators and other vendors (including ecosystem partner Mavenir), in helping the xRAN Forum define the use of NETCONF/YANG by the 5G Radio Unit.
