Verizon and Cellwize have collaborated on a new platform that uses Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI and ML) to speed the deployment of Verizon 5G sites and simplify how apps are developed for the Verizon network.
The introduction of CHIME, Cellwize’s RAN automation platform, advances the use of innovative machine learning algorithms on a next generation, virtualized and vendor agnostic platform and help pre-determine the most efficient design for a new cell site. Design parameters include how to identify the cell site when connecting customers to the internet, which nearby sites to connect with when customers are making calls or sending messages, and how to create the fastest connections for customers. With those and many other parameters pre-determined by advanced AI ML algorithms, Verizon can automate optimization of new 5G cell sites, speeding their deployment and improving their efficiency.
This new platform simplifies how apps are developed on the Verizon network and accelerates the creation of a self-optimizing 5G network.
Developers that will benefit from this platform are working on new innovations that will help automate the network, deliver data insights, use Automated Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) to model capital expenditure plans, improve network performance, or help identify and eliminate interference.
Bill Stone, VP of Planning, Verizon
Networks use several infrastructure vendors, each with its own code. By creating an open RAN application platform, developers no longer have to learn individual vendor codes, or keep up with changes in vendors’ distinct codes to develop for our network.
