Radisys and KDDI Research partnered to complete the world’s first successful demonstration showcasing RAN slicing involving different traffic streams with different latency requirements on a single Radio Unit (RU) connected to multiple Centralized Units/Distributed Units in a disaggregated network topology. Network slice orchestration is a central architectural construct for 5G networks and mobile operators crucially need this flexibility to create service-specific network slices to deploy complex 5G services cost effectively.
“Radisys is a global leader with its 5G enabling technology and we were impressed by the flexibility of its architecture as Radisys was able to realize this complex topology with minimal changes to its stack architecture. Collaboration between KDDI Research and Radisys has been ground-breaking and we look forward to further enhancing the RAN Controller based architecture and apply it for Big Data manipulation and Machine Learning to automate the network.”
