Japanese operator Rakuten Mobile announced the launch of a new research and development project with the aim of developing advanced Open RAN integration infrastructure.
The operator said that this launch is in line with its selection for the research theme of “development of advanced O-RAN integration infrastructure technology” by Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
As part of this research and development project, Rakuten Mobile will collaborate with Rakuten Symphony to develop standardized Open RAN software, proof-of-concept (PoC) environment models and automated quality assurance systems for telecom operators.
