[Malaga (Spain) 31st Reuters] -Bodapone, a major British telecommunications giant, will design a unique semiconductor architecture that supports the "OPENRAN" network technology in partnership with US semiconductor Intel.The aim is to reduce the dominance of traditional communication equipment suppliers.
OPENRAN makes it possible for telecommunications carriers to freely combine wireless network suppliers, competing with Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, etc., which dominate the world's telecommunications equipment market with their own technology. ing.
The development of OPENRAN has gained more attention as governments have banned or suppress Chinese Huawei in domestic networks.
This concept, based on the digital innovation and research and development center of Vodafone in Malaga, Spain, has strengthened the semiconductor industry in the European Union (EU), which is losing to Asian and US suppliers, and accounts for global production.It also contributes to efforts to double to 20 %.
Director Santiago Tenorio, the director in charge of Borderfone, to Royter, and optimizes the network using artificial intelligence (AI) with Openran.Explain that it will be possible.He said, "We will regain destructive innovation to the network."
OPENRAN creates interoperability between the software components of the wireless access network and the hardware component, expanding the range of suppliers, and lowering the barriers to entry.
The first research and development center, which specializes in the development of an Openran semiconductor architecture, has 650 software engine, designers and engineers, in addition to 50 staff members specializing in Openran, and have been 225 million in 5 years.Invested the euro ($ 250 million).It was opened on the 31st.
Tenorio stated that Bodaphon would design silicon for ARM and RISC-V instructions in addition to Intel X86, but Intel is up to three years ahead of rivals and is already important in the development of Openran.He added that he played a role.
In addition, about 20 vendors, including Qualcom, Broadcom, ARM, and Lime Microsystems, are participating in the project, and half of them are from Europe.
