Intel, Juniper Networks, and Rakuten Symphony announced a collaborative effort to develop Symware, a carrier-grade Open RAN (O-RAN) solution for mobile network operators to modernize radio cell sites.
Rakuten Symphony is a new business organization promoted by Japanese carrier Rakuten Mobile, with the main aim of empowering the global adoption of cloud-native Open RAN infrastructure and services by mobile network operators, enterprises and government bodies.
The partners said that this Symware multipurpose edge appliance provides operators with the flexibility to densify their network, accommodate various network topologies, and support new features while reducing the required hardware per site.
