New collaboration will unlock a wider set of selections for operators to construct high-capacity, energy-efficient networks, leveraging Samsung’s vRAN options and ecosystem
Samsung Electronics immediately introduced a brand new collaboration with AMD to advance 5G virtualized RAN (vRAN) for community transformation. This collaboration represents Samsung’s ongoing dedication to enriching vRAN and Open RAN ecosystems to assist operators construct and modernize cell networks with unmatched flexibility and optimized efficiency.
The 2 firms have accomplished a number of rounds of assessments at Samsung’s lab to confirm high-capacity and telco-grade efficiency utilizing FDD bands and TDD Large MIMO wide-bands, whereas considerably decreasing energy consumption. On this joint collaboration, Samsung used its versatile vRAN software program built-in with the brand new AMD EPYC™ 8004 processors, targeted on telco and clever edge. Throughout technical verification, the EPYC 8004 processors mixed with Samsung’s vRAN options delivered optimized cell capability per server in addition to excessive energy effectivity.
“This technical collaboration demonstrates Samsung’s dedication to delivering community flexibility and excessive efficiency for service suppliers by constructing a bigger vRAN and Open RAN ecosystem,” mentioned Henrik Jansson, Vice President and Head of SI Enterprise Group, Networks Enterprise at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung has been on the forefront of unleashing the total potential of 5G vRAN know-how to fulfill rising calls for, and we look ahead to collaborating with {industry} leaders like AMD to offer operators the capabilities to remodel their networks.”
“By integrating our AMD EPYC processors with Samsung’s main vRAN resolution, operators may have a strong software with the unbelievable vitality effectivity and balanced efficiency wanted for this atmosphere,” mentioned Lynn Comp, Company Vice President, Technical Advertising, Server Enterprise at AMD. “It’s nice to be collaborating with Samsung in 5G vRAN options to leverage our market-leading merchandise for the info heart and deal with key challenges of the telco edge and RAN atmosphere.”
Samsung will proceed working with AMD to facilitate the acceleration of vRAN and Open RAN for 5G and drive new innovation for next-generation networks.
Samsung’s vRAN Ecosystem
Samsung has made vital strides with its vRAN ecosystem, increasing collaboration with industry-leading suppliers spanning a spread of applied sciences, together with: processors, COTS servers, container platforms (CaaS), xHaul transport and cloud options. This sturdy and rising ecosystem illustrates Samsung’s management in providing vRAN and Open RAN options which might be dependable, sustainable and meet or exceed telco-grade efficiency. Samsung has confirmed its in depth experience in industrial networks for Tier 1 operators within the North America, Europe and Asia.
Samsung has pioneered the profitable supply of 5G end-to-end options, together with chipsets, radios and cores. By way of ongoing analysis and growth, Samsung drives the {industry} to advance 5G networks with its market-leading product portfolio, from vRAN 3.0, Open RAN and Core to non-public community options and AI-powered automation instruments. The corporate presently supplies community options to cell operators that ship connectivity to a whole bunch of thousands and thousands of customers worldwide.
