The IIITB COMET Foundation (COMET), Bengaluru, has designed the Open Radio Access Network (ORAN) base station solution for creating spectral and energy-efficient wireless communications technology for 5G and 5G-Advanced radio networks.
ORAN base station solutions, a critical component of next-generation telecommunications infrastructure, disaggregates the software and hardware components of the network infrastructure. The solution is under development for commercialisation.
According to the Department of Science and Technology (DST), ORAN-based interfaces are like doors that provide access to different components of the network infrastructure, making it easier, more efficient and more economically viable to provide internet in remote areas.
