03 Dezember 2024 - 3:00PM
Business Wire
Wind River® will now provide core-to-edge cloud infrastructure
for the Boost Mobile network. As the largest Open RAN (O-RAN)
deployment in the world, providing 5G voice to more than 200
million Americans, Boost Mobile’s transition to Wind River Studio
Operator will mark the telecom industry’s largest
containers-as-a-service (CaaS) vendor changeover on an Open RAN
network.
“Boost Mobile, formerly DISH Wireless, has been and continues to
be the world leader in developing and operationalizing a
carrier-grade cloud-native Open RAN 5G network at a national
scale," said Eben Albertyn, Chief Technology Officer at Boost
Mobile. “Boost Mobile is beyond proving Open RAN technology works,
and is now applying component interchangeability through our new
engagement with Wind River. We continue to evaluate performance and
the cost effectiveness of our network components and can rapidly
pivot to new and different solutions. We aim to ensure our network
remains cutting-edge and customers continue to enjoy the benefits
of a cloud-native 5G network, including greater reliability, higher
speeds and cost effective services.”
“With the world’s largest Open RAN deployment, Boost Mobile is
helping to lead innovation in the market. Wind River is proud to
collaborate with Boost Mobile on this major milestone to advance
Open RAN,” said Paul Miller, Chief Technology Officer at Wind
River. “As a leader in the telecom landscape that powers the
majority of 5G vRAN/Open RAN deployments across the globe, through
our Studio Operator capabilities, Wind River delivers cloud-native
solutions that enable the commercial deployment of next-generation
network infrastructure for service providers, like Boost Mobile,
worldwide.”
Based on the open source StarlingX project, Studio Operator
cloud platform technology provides a fully cloud-native,
Kubernetes- and container-based architecture for the development,
deployment, operations, and servicing of distributed edge networks
at scale. It addresses service providers’ complex challenge of
deploying and managing a cloud-native infrastructure for
core-to-edge distributed cloud networks to provide traditional RAN
performance in a vRAN/Open RAN deployment. Wind River Studio
Operator conductor technology can orchestrate new service
deployment across a complex cloud topology, with complete
end-to-end automation and zero-touch provisioning, in a matter of
minutes. Studio Operator analytics technology can help manage a
distributed cloud network effectively, using AI/ML-generated
insights for intelligent and automated decision-making.
Delivering proven technologies that keep telecommunications edge
networks running reliably, Wind River has played key roles in the
world’s first successful 5G data session; in the first Open RAN
deployment in Canada; in building commercial vRAN/O-RAN programs,
including one of the largest Open RAN networks in the world; and in
launching the first fully automated edge data center for commercial
service.
