JMA Wireless has announced its cloud-native 5G standalone (SA) Radio Access Network (RAN) solution live during Mobile World Congress.
This fully agnostic solution provides customers unprecedented levels of flexibility across cloud platforms and processors, unlocking greater competition and the potential for powerful new applications.
XRAN is completely containerized for Kubernetes platforms such as Windriver Studio and Amazon EKS Anywhere, which promotes ease of deployment, efficient cloud-centric operations, and faster time to market. XRAN is built on disaggregated functions that can run on different commercial off-the-shelf servers across the cloud continuum. As a result, XRAN can be deployed on private, public or hybrid clouds.
Joe Constantine, JMA’s Chief Technology and Strategy Officer
We are the only company to implement the entire functionality of the RAN baseband protocol stack (L1-L3) in our XRAN software. By owning that code outright, we can drive a product roadmap that gives our customers the choice to select which computing environment that works best for them. We are currently running mission-critical applications for customers on both Intel and AMD processors, and will be releasing our XRAN software on Arm processor for deployment shortly.
Caroline Chan, Intel VP and GM Network Business Incubator Division
We’ve enabled a broad ecosystem to deliver RAN innovations that service providers and enterprises alike can rely on for their deployments. The launch of this flexible cloud-native 5G SA XRAN solution from JMA optimized on Intel Xeon processors is a perfect example of this.
