Summary
Future 5G Radio Access Networks (RANs) are built of virtualised software modules and COTS server hardware. To meet the stringent data throughput and latency requirements of 5G, the software must be highly optimized for performance and energy efficiency. But here a new problem arises: Existing vRAN software is tied to a specific hardware, usually by the same vendor, which re-introduces hardware lock-in. Open RAN specifies hardware-agnostic software standards to foster upgradeability, adaptability and vendor diversity, but implementations of this standard for fully hardware-independent Open RAN software do not exist today. As an industry first, Xelera DYRA provides a hardware-independent, standard-compliant Open RAN software. Xelera DYRA will be a high-performance, energy-efficient Distributed Unit (DU) software, which is a critical component of an Open RAN system. This product is important for the European Open RAN ecosystem because of the lack of established European suppliers.
