Small Cell Forum publishes spec to drive unified 5G Open RAN
- Tuesday | 16th July, 2019
Small Cell Forum (SCF), the telecoms organization making mobile infrastructure solutions available to all, has published the PHY API for 5G to stimulate a competitive ecosystem for vendors of 5G small cell hardware, software and equipment. The specification has been developed through a successful collaboration of companies from across the small cell eco-system, including; Intel, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Airspan Networks and Picocom Technology. Operators are looking for a radically different cost model for 5G networks, one that relies on interoperability and an open, competitive ecosystem. “The economic success of 5G is reliant on interoperable multivendor networks, which require open interfaces at both silicon and network level,” said David Orloff, Chair of Small Cell Forum. As such, the Forum plans to expand 5G FAPI to operate across split option 6 as 5G nFAPI.
