Open Source 5G Core Integration with Commercial RAN

Recently, ARA has successfully integrated an open-source mobile core (Open5GS) with a commercial-grade 5G standalone radio access network (RAN) powered by Ericsson. This first-of-its-kind integration marks a significant milestone toward proving the commercial readiness and interoperability of open-source mobile networking software. It offers the exciting opportunity to combine programmable flexibility in the core with robustness in the RAN. Details about this accomplishment have been reported on the PAWR (Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research) website and by Businesswire.
