What is Open RAN Studio?
BubbleRAN Open RAN Studio, MX-ORS, product is world-first production-grade cloud-native platform to seamlessly design, operate, experiment an emulated end-to-end 4G/5G Open RAN network with edge services, at scale.
Open RAN Studio is designed with the following objectives in mind.
- Sharing Knowledge
- Identify New Challenges/Features in 5G and 6G
- Accelerate the R&D lifecycle from Idea to PoC and production-ready Demo
- Showcase Ideas and Validate relevant use-cases
- Foster Academia and Industry Collaboration
Upcoming Episodes
We are going to touch upon various topics around Open Source, Open RAN, and programmability. Some of the items will include:
- Cloud-Native Multi-vendor Open RAN deployment
- Real-Time RIC and xApps
- Realistic Data collections
- MLDevKit within the Open RAN ecosystem
- The current Open-RAN-related research topics
- Network store
- Role of digital twin within Open RAN
What are the benefits of Open RAN studios?
Using Open RAN studio, now developers, vendors, and Operators are able to:
- develop NFs/xApps/rApps and on-board them using a software development kit (SDK)
- design a multi-vendor Open RAN network blueprints tailored to your use-case
- deploy and operate their blueprints at scale
- control and reconfigure RAN via xApps/rApps
- collect datasets and analyze network control and user planes.
In addition, they can learn and reuse existing resources via open documentation.
