Wind River and Intel Collaborate on Leading 5G vRAN Solution for FlexRAN

Today, Wind River announced development of a 5G virtual radio access network (vRAN) solution that integrates Intel® FlexRAN reference software for systems powered by 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors in concert with Wind River Studio. This solution will help alleviate key integration and complexity challenges cited by operators implementing vRAN by combining proven optimizing software and platform components.

Prospective customers and vRAN solution providers will be able to review evaluation packages consisting of Intel FlexRAN reference software pre-integrated with Wind River Studio to simplify and accelerate customer trials and deployments of 5G vRAN. This offering expands on the recently introduced Intel® Select Solutions for virtual radio access network on Wind River Studio.

The joint solution builds on Intel and Wind River’s work on Verizon’s 5G milestone to complete the world’s first end-to-end, fully virtualized 5G data session.
