Juniper Networks and Türk Telekom have announced completion of a groundbreaking new technology and commercial partnership to accelerate innovation in support of the Open RAN 5G ecosystem.

An exclusive global licensing agreement with Netsia, a subsidiary of Türk Telekom Group company Argela in the USA, to transfer its leading-edge Radio Intelligent Controller technology to Juniper, including related source code and patents plus exclusive rights to develop and sell products and solutions that integrate with RIC. Permanent transfer of technical domain experts from Netsia to Juniper in support of RIC's integration into Juniper's product portfolio, further strengthening Juniper's Open RAN and 5G expertise.

Committed purchase of Juniper products and solutions by Türk Telekom to support its next generation Open RAN and 5G deployment.

Collectively, the products and solutions resulting from this agreement will enable Türk Telekom and other service providers to deploy open, intelligent 5G radio infrastructure, eventually strengthening the Open RAN and 5G ecosystem.

Juniper and Türk Telekom are equally committed to the importance of open and agile architectures, in particular the evolution of vRAN architectures in the Open RAN community.

"Our dynamic collaboration with Türk Telekom and Netsia is founded on shared principles of an open approach to technology development, the fundamental importance of disaggregation and programmability and the drive toward a cloud native infrastructure from the telco cloud into the services edge and radio networks."
