Software Platform + Software Update + Manuals + Blueprints.
Open RAN Studio is an inclusive R&D environment with OpenAirInterface and srsRAN 4G/5G stack and BubbleRAN O-RAN stack (near-RT RIC, Non-RT RIC, xApps, rApps, and SMO/OAM. Formally, it is a production-grade cloud-native platform allowing users to seamlessly design, operate, and experiment an emulated end-to-end 3GPP and O-RAN standard-compliant network with edge services, at scale.

What is included in the Open RAN Studio product?

  1. O-Cloud:

    1. Multi-infrastructure support: Bare-metal, On-premise, Public (GKE), Single-node (Microk8s)
    2. Optimized infrastructure: Kubernetes-based private 4G/5G-optimized cloud infrastructure on 2x High-performance compute nodes optimized for maximum performance, stability, and scalability
  2. Artifacts:

    1. OpenAirInterface and srsRAN 4G/5G stack (eNB/gNB/CU/DU) in emulated mode with the BubbleRAN E2 agents (E2AP v2/v3)
    2. OpenAirInterface and Open 5GS core network in two forms: all-in-one and disaggregated
    3. OpenAirInterface and srsRAN soft UE in emulated mode with channel models
  3. SMO: MX-Operator supporting end-to-end full lifecycle automation(day 0, day 1, day 2, and day n Ops) on the top of Kubernetes. Refer to Technology.

Benefits of Open RAN Studio for developers, vendors, and Operators

  1. develop NFs/xApps/rApps and on-board them using a software development kit (SDK)
  2. design an end-to-end 4G/5G Open RAN network blueprints (UE, RAN, CORE, and EDGE) tailored to your use-case
  3. deploy and operate their blueprints at scale
  4. control and reconfigure RAN via xApps/rApps
  5. test and measure network performance
  6. collect datasets and analyze network control and user planes. Checkout one of the labs here

Need more features?

  1. Case 1: If you need certain software components to complete your 4G/5G network, for example RIC and xApps, the you may need the MX-PKG.
  2. Case 2: If you need an end-to-end emulated 4G/5G network featuring Open RAN in a controlled environment, the Open RAN Studio is what you are looking for.
  3. Case 3: If you plan to setup a concrete PoC prototype in the lab (TRL4) or MVP in a relevant environment (TRL 5 or 6), then you may need the MX-PDK product.
  4. Case 4: If you plan to deploy a 4G/5G network with or without Open RAN in an operational environment (TRL 7), then you may need the MX-PRO product.
  5. Case 5: If you plan to setup an all-in-one 4G/5G network in a box or extend the coverage in Case 2 and 3, then you may need the MX-HUB product.
  6. Case 6: If you plan to connect a soft 4G/5G UE to your network or need a customize a 4G/5G UE in Case 2 and 3, then you may need the MX-UE product. Please contact us.
