Open RAN (radio access network open) is one of the most important trends to help manufacturers of telecommunications equipment can participate in the game and 5G.
The station 5G on open standards Open RAN self-development in Vietnam ready for commercialization. In workshop on 5G O-RAN Vietnam Connect 2024 take place in Hanoi on 13/11, Viettel said it expected installation of more than 300 stations in some provinces early in the year 2025.
This network also has plans to expand the scale and sold all international markets.
IRAN is the radio transmissions, connect the terminal of the user with the network, before being processed by the core network. The system RAN traditions usually “closed,” due to the airline telecommunications equipment self-development and is only compatible with genuine.
When the move to open standards Open RAN, the network can combine components of several different vendors, help optimize costs.
At the event, mr. Nguyen Thien Nghia, director, department of Science and technology (Ministry of information and Communications), given that the 3 manufacturer Nokia, Ericsson and Huawei accounted for 90% of the market base station in Vietnam, that other suppliers “very difficult to market participants”. In that, the devices can't use each other is the biggest reason.
Mr. Nguyen Thien Nghia get the Open RAN will reduce the ecology of 1 single partner, ensure flexibility for the network. The cooperation Viettel and Qualcomm positive contribution to this ecosystem.
Share this regard, mr. Nguyen Minh Quang, Deputy General director of Viettel High Tech, said this company and Qualcomm have mastered technology Open RAN and are willing to trade goods and equipment base station 5G gNodeB, based on chipset platform advanced from Qualcomm.
Vice president, Qualcomm Asia – pacific O. H Kwon also emphasize this is the station 5G Open RAN the world's first use of chipset Qualcomm. Airline representatives selling leads for know the plan was to start from 2019, after the work with the Ministry of information and Communications. The engineers of Viettel and Qualcomm jointly developed products commercialized today.
With the announcement of the station broadcasts 5G Open RAN, VHT said was complete catalog solution 5G package, from the core network (core network) to the block radio (RAN), can provide for customers deploying private network or public network. The home network uses the French open, this can be flexible in combining multiple vendors to create a partner ecosystem sustainability.
Mrs. Jeanette Whyte, director of policy of the GSMA in Asia pacific is also asserted, more and more network providers deploy Open RAN, this will be the trend in the world. Open IRAN to help the country and the network converted its network. This technology is integral hardware and software to help network operators flexibility to select partners and reduce the price of the investment.
However, Open IRAN also face barriers such as reliability, level of integration into the system, the quality of the network... but the countries are coordinating with each other to remove these obstacles. Besides, to promote Open RAN need the support about the legal side of the country.
