Cisco, Altiostar, an innovator in open virtual RAN technology, and World Wide Technology, a market-leading $12 billion technology solution provider, announced the companies are working together on an Open vRAN blueprint that will accelerate the deployment of 4G/5G OpenRAN solutions in service provider networks.

The combined solution will help service providers deploy fully integrated open, cloud-based virtualized RAN solutions based on technologies created by Cisco and Altiostar and that will be brought to market using the sales, integration and deployment capabilities of WWT. "Innovation in mobile networking and open virtualized RAN is continuing at a rapid pace," said Bob Everson, Senior Director of 5G Architecture, Cisco.

Also included is Altiostar's 4G and 5G open vRAN software, which supports open interfaces and disaggregates the radio hardware from the radio software.

"We are happy to partner with Cisco and WWT to create a portfolio consisting of a RAN solution and services that will accelerate the time to adopt for open virtualized RAN for both Tier-1 and Tier-2 operators."

The Open vRAN blueprint will be validated in WWT's state-of-the-art Advanced Technology Center, a one-of-a-kind testing and validation facility equipped with roughly $1 billion in hardware and software, and take advantage of WWT's deep integration and deployment expertise through its global integration centers in Mumbai, Singapore, St. Louis, and Amsterdam.
