Challenges
The scope aims to test the functionalities of Open RAN based networks such as the integration of AI-functionality (Artificial Intelligence) for automated optimization and its distinct characteristic as a vendorindependent platform.

Solutions & Benefits Airspan’s OpenRANGE solution was used into the project. This includes AirVelocity 2700, a Split 7.2 “Indoor” radio and CU and DU software which are based on O-RAN and 3GPP standard. One reason for the cooperation on the part of TUK and MUGLER is the advantage of OpenRANGE being built on a virtualized network environment, where the baseband is fully implemented via software and can be used in connection with commercial of the shelf (COTS) server-hardware. Two different vendors were also deployed for providing the core network and the radio access network to test the feasibility of Open RAN as a standalone network. The test results convinced TU Kaiserslautern that 5G Open RAN is the enabler for further innovations in production and intra logistics in intelligent factories.
