STERLITE Technologies Ltd (STL) has come up with a collaboration with Facebook Connectivity to design and develop 4G and 5G radio products as part of the Evenstar programme to help accelerate commercial deployment of ‘Open RAN’ and boost 5G preparedness for operators.
The Evenstar programme is a collaborative effort by Facebook Connectivity and global partners to quicken the adoption of Open RAN technology.
“Over the last few years, STL has been developing open, disaggregated, virtualised and programmable solutions for the access side of the network,” the company said in a statement.
STL said that it recently launched a suite of open networking products, covering 5G wireless products like Garuda (indoor small cells), 5G multi-band macro radios and Wi-Fi6 carrier-grade access solutions.
The Mumbai-based multinational technology company added that the offerings are being tested with top tier telcos in countries like the US, the UK and Asia-Pacific. STL, through the latest collaboration, would build two advanced, high-power macro radio products, the statement added.
Open RAN or open radio access network architecture is industry terminology for interoperability and standardisation of radio access network elements, including products and software from various vendors.
