NEC is showcasing its Open Radio Access Network (RAN) technology in the UK.
The NeutrORAN project will be used to test and demonstrate a multiple operator, neutral host solution using an Open RAN ecosystem.
NEC also confirmed that will establish a Global Open RAN Center of Excellence in the UK. The NeutrORAN will be one of the first solutions delivered by the Center of Excellence.
“The project is another step in NEC’s growing commitment to the UK and follows the establishment of the company’s Global Open RAN Center of Excellence in the UK,” said Oliver Dowden, UK Government Digital Secretary.
“We see this project as a catalyst for NEC introducing Open RAN into the UK and enabling the acceleration of 5G deployment,” said Chris Jackson, CEO of NEC Europe Ltd.
