Ericsson and Intel announced a new collaboration already underway in Ericsson’s Santa Clara, California facilities called the Ericsson-Intel Tech Hub. It’s there that research and development teams from both organizations are focusing efforts on the energy efficiency and network performance of cloud-based Radio Access Network (RAN) solutions — in this case, Ericsson Cloud RAN software running on Intel hardware.
Presently, work at the Tech Hub is focused on “activities in power management and performance planned this year as well as joint work on Cloud RAN containerized network function (CNF) applications on upcoming generations of processing platforms,” said Ericsson.
