Mavenir and Boost Mobile Obtain Trade-First Validation and Business In-Service for Inter-Vendor Open RAN Handover on the Boost Mobile Network within the US

Open RAN options linked through a 3GPP Xn interface inside Boost Mobile’s 5G infrastructure for seamless mobility

Boost Mobile’s prospects expertise uninterrupted and constant service in areas utilizing combined Open RAN distributors

RICHARDSON, Texas, Dec. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mavenir and Boost Mobile (previously DISH Wireless) announce the business first inter-vendor Open RAN handover utilizing the 3GPP Xn interface, throughout the Boost Mobile Network. This milestone demonstrates the seamless interoperability between totally different Open RAN (O-RAN) radio distributors, a essential proof level that O-RAN isn’t solely viable however thriving in real-world deployments.

The Xn interface, as outlined by 3GPP for 5G NR, facilitates communication between RAN nodes from totally different distributors, making certain uninterrupted name continuity and a easy consumer expertise. RAN with proprietary interfaces constrain operators to depend on single-source networks confined to regional deployments. The Xn interface permits for the interconnection of each open and closed RAN nodes, selling larger interoperability and vendor flexibility throughout the identical area.

The validation achieved by Mavenir, a third-party radio vendor and Boost Mobile highlights the maturity in 3GPP and O-RAN and the probabilities in attaining a very multi-vendor surroundings. By leveraging open interfaces and easy interoperability, the O-RAN know-how ensures that cell units can swap easily between totally different community parts with out affecting consumer expertise. Boost Mobile’s prospects can get pleasure from uninterrupted service and constant connectivity, because the community is confirmed to deal with mobility transitions between totally different O-RAN vendor options seamlessly, with none disruption.

The profitable implementation of inter-vendor handover exemplifies the worth of open interfaces and the potential of Open RAN structure. This demonstrates how open interfaces facilitate the pliability in selecting and integrating parts from a number of distributors, decreasing single-source dependency, reducing prices and accelerating community developments by way of speedy interoperability and vendor collaboration. Mavenir and Boost Mobile’s function on this milestone, not solely highlights business management in Open RAN options, however reinforces their dedication to delivering superior connectivity options that improve consumer experiences.

“At Boost Mobile, we believe in the power of Open RAN to drive innovation and enhance customer experience,” mentioned Eben Albertyn, Chief Technology Officer, Boost Mobile. “By embracing open standards and interoperability, we, along with the help of Mavenir and the other third-party radio vendor, are not just building a more flexible network; we’re paving the way for a connected future where every customer can enjoy seamless connectivity across the Boost Mobile Network.”

“This achievement marks a significant milestone in the evolution of Open RAN, made possible through the collaboration with Boost Mobile,” mentioned Pardeep Kohli, President, Chief Executive Officer, Mavenir. “By enabling seamless inter-vendor handovers, Mavenir is showcasing how Open RAN delivers flexible, cost-effective, and interoperable networks. This milestone underscores our commitment to empowering operators to build vendor-agnostic networks, ensuring scalable, high-quality connectivity for their customers.”
