Respite for old telcos with IUC scrappage deferred by a yearĪnother major closure got delivered on the interconnect usage charge issue with Trai deferring the implementation of the zero-IUC regime by a year that was slated to kick off starting January 2020, on account of “inadequate adoption of 4G technologies by consumers and asymmetries in traffic". We have worked with few vendors over the last 3 years to develop the next-gen radio solutions including OpenRAN,” Vishant Vora, former chief technology officer at Vodafone Idea, had told ETTelecom. “We have been engaged in Open RAN for 3 years and we intend to further enhance the deployment into our network. Vodafone Idea has already done OpenRAN based commercial deployment TDD LTE and massive Mimo sites in various cities. In India, telcos such as Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone Idea (Vi) are gradually looking beyond traditional gear vendors by using Open RAN architecture in order to reduce expenditures and enhance customization as they move towards 5G rollout.

In Ireland, the sites are being built on an O-RAN architecture with a Remote Radio Unit (RRU) provided by Comba Telecom, Distributed Unit (DU) by Parallel Wireless, and Central Unit (CU) software running on vBBU by Supermicro. More recently, Vodafone rolled out its 4G services in Ireland across the North-West region using U.S.-based Open RAN ( O-RAN) company Parallel Wireless' software. Vodafone partners Parallel Wireless to deploy Open RAN-based 4G services in Ireland Open RAN is a technology that enables carriers to disaggregate hardware and software modules and procure them respectively from different vendors, thereby improving interoperability. It can be later if Open RAN adoption is low in the industry,” Tenorio told the publication.

It is difficult to say how long that is going to take maybe, you know, as little as maybe 12 months 18 months to full solution. “ 5G massive MIMO, in particular, is a complex problem to crack and will require not just a lot of software development but also hardware, in particular semiconductors… we will need new solutions to be developed in terms of chipsets that are powering those efficient, super-complex radios.
NEW DELHI: Open radio access network (RAN) will take time before it is able to prove its viability and performance equivalent to the traditional integrated system currently being deployed for enabling 5G services and certain areas still require “much more R&D efforts”, said Yago Tenorio, head of group network architecture, Vodafone in an online event hosted by TelecomTV.
