Amari-Sphere available for labs, test & Measurement and production Networks 🔹
Optional: hardware bundles and installation services.
AMARI-Sphere integrates BubbleRAN’s O-RAN and AI-RAN stack with Amarisoft’s software-defined 4G/5G RAN/CN/IMS/UE foundation, known for simplicity and ease of deployment, while preserving Amarisoft’s established workflows and user experience. By combining both technologies, AMARI-Sphere enables you to design, deploy, and operate end-to-end O-RAN networks powered by AI-RAN services, from lab environments to production deployments. It supports O-RAN standardized interfaces (E2, A1, R1) for real-time monitoring, control, and coordination, and delivers AI-for-RAN and AI-on-RAN services to improve network performance and operational efficiency.

What is included in AMARI-Sphere?
AMARI-Sphere is delivered as an integrated stack combining:
- Amarisoft 4G/5G software stack + License Server: eNB/gNB, 4GC/5CN/IMS, UE.
- BubbleRAN RIC-Sphere stack: RICs (Near-RT + Non-RT), Proxy-E2 Agent, xApp/rApp SDKs
- BubbleRAN SMO-Sphere stack: Day 0 → Day 2+ automation, lifecycle management, slicing at scale
- BubbleRAN AI-RAN services: AI-for-RAN, AI-on-RAN, agent toolkit and catalog
Software Components
1) BubbleRAN RIC (RIC-Sphere inside AMARI-Sphere)
AMARI-Sphere includes BubbleRAN’s RIC stack (RIC-Sphere), Compliant with O-RAN architecture:
- Near-RT RIC on the RAN side (controls CU/DU/E2 nodes via E2)
- Non-RT RIC as a logical function in the SMO framework (long-term policy, analytics, AI/ML orchestration via A1 and R1)
- Proxy-E2 Agent as an E2 adaptor for Amarisoft Websocket interface and as a standalone E2 node emulation.
2) BubbleRAN SMO (SMO-Sphere inside AMARI-Sphere)
SMO-Sphere is an O-RAN compliant, cloud-native SMO built on Kubernetes levearging the operator pattern:
- Intent-driven automation from Day 0 planning to Day 2+ operations
- End-to-end lifecycle management of multi-vendor RAN and CN, enabling design, deploy, operate, automate, and optimize networks at scale
- Third-party NF onboarding (including CU, xApps, rApps) via CDK for brownfield and greenfield deployments
3) BubbleRAN AI-RAN Services (optional extension)
AI-RAN services enable closed-loop intelligence through:
- AI-for-RAN: intelligence executed outside the RAN software (e.g., orchestration layers or rApps)
- AI-on-RAN: AI services co-located with RAN infrastructure (e.g., edge GPUaaS)
- Bleuprints: RAN Optimization, AI/ML pipelines, analytics/insights, and dataset collection
- Network assistant & agent toolkit to reuse, extend, or develop telco agents
4) Amarisoft Network + UE Series with License Server (Prerequisites)
To operate the integrated solution, customers typically require:
- AMARI Floating License Server (FLS) and keys
- AMARI vRAN/eNB/gNB and 4G/5G CN/IMS software licenses (e.g., NW 200/600/2000/4000/8000)
- Optionally AMARI UE SimBox series
BubbleRAN runs the Amarisoft license server in-cluster and support both internal and external license deployments. The licnese can be either purchased directly from Amarisoft or from BubbleRAN.

Frequently Asked Questions
1️⃣ I already bought an Amarisoft license — do I need another one?
No for the O-RAN stack on top of an Amarisoft testbed. For O-Cloud deployments, you may need to update your existing license to a license-server-compatible setup.
BubbleRAN supports running an Amarisoft license server (with the appropriate Amarisoft license) in-cluster or externally, supporting multiple license types.
2️⃣ How does my AMARI CallBox work on O-Cloud? Do I need to re-set up my Amarisoft testbed?
On O-Cloud, BubbleRAN runs Amarisoft as a cloud-native stack (containerized and orchestrated with Kubernetes). SMO auto-detects supported SDRs, and the cloud-native license server supports in-cluster or external licenses.
Not necessarily. You can add BubbleRAN’s O-RAN stack on top of an existing testbed. For O-Cloud, you typically install BubbleRAN’s custom OS on your infrastructure; the deployment can be performed remotely and includes the license server and O-RAN stack.
3️⃣ What are the benefits of Near-RT RIC for Amarisoft?
Near-RT RIC enables O-RAN compliance, interoperability with RANs from other vendors, low-latency monitoring/control loops, and reusable xApps—so xApps from other platforms can be integrated with Amarisoft RAN.
4️⃣ What overhead is introduced by O-RAN / O-Cloud / AI-RAN?
- O-RAN stack: ultra-lean; minimal compute/memory/network overhead
- O-Cloud: minimal overhead; Amarisoft runs natively in containers (no VM layer); SMO/license server/observability are lightweight microservices
- AI-RAN: minimal overhead unless local GPUs are required (then size compute nodes accordingly)
5️⃣ What are the benefits of cloud-native deployment for Amarisoft?
Cloud-native deployment enables agile deployment at scale, automated configuration, support for large networks, and seamless inte gration with O-RAN xApps/rApps and adjacent services.
