Adding to the industry push towards greater communications technology diversity through open radio access network (Open RAN) solutions, Nokia has forged a partnership with Brazil’s Telecommunications Research and Development Centre (CPQD) to jointly develop applications and systems based on the Open RAN-compliant near-real time RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC).
The RIC is a virtualised 5G optimisation technology that adds programmability to a RAN and enables artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) as well as new services.
