Ericsson Open Lab launches to innovate on network virtualization technologies
The goal of the new lab is to drive virtualized 5G Radio Access Networks (RAN) technologies, Ericsson explained.
The new lab is located at Erisson’s R&D location in Ottawa, Canada. It will be virtually accessible by customers.
“Open technology underpins the modern mobile miracle, which connects more than eight billion devices today with one set of global operating standards,” said Fredrik Jejdling, executive vice president and head of business area networks at Ericsson. “With Ericsson Open Lab, we invite our customers and partners to co-create and bring new cloud innovations to 5G. We have created this collaboration to develop architectures and common operating standards that complement existing 5G ready technology. This initiative will help to test the limits of 5G connectivity, working closely with operators and enterprise customers globally, as the industry continues to adopt more open architectures.”
