“SDN-Based, Programmatically Virtualizable
Cloud RAN Architecture for 5G”
The tremendous growth in wireless Internet is showing no signs of slowing down. The explosion in the demand is not only due to larger number of connections but also the multimedia rich applications, which constitude the majority of these connections. The upcoming IoT and M2M technologies will save further increase the demand. Existing cellular networks will be insufficient because of inflexible and expensive equipment, and complex non-agile control plane. Additionally, the MSPs will increasingly loose a significant portion of their traditional revenue stream to over-the-top Providers.
ARGELA believes that 5G needs to be built on the pillars of Disruptive Physical Layer Technologies, NFV, and SDN.
Argela conducts research and development in wireless communication networks towards 5G, as well as developing 5G enabling technologies such as SDN and NFV.
ProgRAN is a patent-pending, fully programmable, SDN-based RAN solution for LTE and 5G developed by ARGELA.
