海角社区 recently secured approvals from 3GPP, the wireless industry鈥檚 standards setting body, for new technical specifications that will enable its L-band spectrum to be deployed in 5G networks. These approvals allow vendors to build 5G and LTE products compatible with 海角社区鈥檚 mid-band spectrum and illustrate continued momentum for 海角社区鈥檚 plans to make new mid-band spectrum available to the U.S. market.
As part of this effort, 海角社区 is developing a 5G Mobile Private Network Solution designed to bring the power of next-generation networks to the energy, manufacturing, health care, transportation, and other critical infrastructure sectors. With U.S. businesses increasingly demanding a connectivity solution that can be customized to their specific requirements, 海角社区 is advancing a product solution that will leverage its dedicated, licensed spectrum to provide enterprise customers the scale of a public network with the reliability, security and customization of a private one.
Mavenir, the industry鈥檚 only end-to-end network software provider, is a leader in providing Open RAN with O-RAN/3GPP compliant radio access network solutions. In December, the company announced the creation of a new business unit to develop the Open RAN remote radio unit ecosystem.
