#Who owns 5g technology software#
Separately, Tata Consultancy Services, a software giant, will bring its expertise in systems integration, with the network and equipment increasingly embedded into the software. NSA, or non-standalone architecture, is essentially 5G built over an existing 4G network, while SA or standalone architecture, is independent 5G with no connection with any existing network. Tata has developed O-RAN-based radio and NSA/SA core, and has integrated a totally indigenous telecom stack, leveraging the capabilities of its group companies and partners. We have worked in the US along with them and demonstrated quite a few examples of what 5G can deliver,” said Rajen Vagadia, VP and president, Qualcomm India and SAARC.Īnd, it is not just Jio Airtel and the Tatas, too, have joined hands in developing 5G network solutions. “Radisys is a company that works on virtual RAN or open RAN. RAN is essentially a type of network infrastructure (radio base station and antennas, in simple terms) used for mobile networks. Qualcomm Technologies and Jio, along with Jio’s subsidiary Radisys Corporation, have been developing open and interoperable interface-compliant architecture-based 5G solutions with a virtualised RAN. Last year, Qualcomm Ventures, the investment arm of American chipmaker Qualcomm Inc, invested Rs730 crore in Jio Platforms.

Jio has installed 5G networks in its data centres across India and its trial sites in Navi Mumbai. Our made-in-India solution is comprehensive, complete and globally competitive,” said Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, at its annual general meeting a month ago. “Together with our partners, we have tested the Jio 5G solutions in India and we successfully demonstrated speeds well in excess of 1 Gbps. Jio has collaborated with global technology firms to develop an open and interoperable interface-compliant architecture-based 5G solution. A protocol stack refers to a group of protocols that are interoperable.
Jio, for instance, says it has indigenously developed the next-generation 5G stack, which will make the technology affordable and accessible. India’s 5G network, however, is getting a local touch, thanks to the emergence of platforms like the Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) Alliance and the partnerships that Indian telecom companies have inked with local and global partners. Historically, telecom equipment and architecture were the domain of a handful of multinational companies. That is a massive value for a competitive country like India, where the ARPUs are a tenth of that of a developed economy- Rajen Vagadia VP and president, Qualcomm India and SAARC The scalability of 5G networks comes with O-RAN.
