India’s second largest telco initially plans to deploy 2500 sites on OpenRAN<\/a> and scale the deployment to 10,000 sites over time, people familiar with the matter said.
According to industry estimates, 10,000 OpenRAN sites could cost a telco anywhere around $120-$180 million.
Airtel had previously conducted trials for 4G and 5G<\/a> Open RAN solutions on select sites in Haryana and Punjab. Mavenir<\/a> has been involved in OpeRAN projects in Europe and the US.
“Airtel is driving forward OpenRAN deployment into its rural markets…it is a 4G\/5G overlay using a stack built in India. So that's 2500 sites, in the first part, going to 10,000 sites,” one of the people quoted earlier said. “The disaggregation of the radio using open technologies will benefit TCO (total cost of ownership).”
Bharti Airtel<\/a> has already launched its commercial 5G services<\/a> and given large network equipment orders to European gear vendors Nokia and Ericsson and a small portion to Korea’s Samsung.
The telco has already launched its 5G services<\/a> in 3500 towns, and by March 2024, Airtel 5G Plus will be present in 7000 towns and nearly 100,000 villages.
OpenRAN as a concept enables hardware and software to be dis-aggregated, unlike conventional radio gears, allowing technology products from different suppliers to co-exist with various software providers.
The technology is compatible with 2G, 3G and 4G as well as 5G services, and allows more customization of the network architecture and capabilities, creating opportunities for new business lines and improving customer experience, analysts said.
Analysts said that for any telecom operator, the most considerable capex is RAN and opting for OpenRAN will help them reduce capex, especially for 5G networks.
\"Investment in rural areas, typically, has generated low RoI for operators and thus it disincentives them from rolling out network in deep rural areas. Our analysis suggests that Total cost of ownership (TCO) of Open RAN technologies can be 20-30% lower than traditional RAN. Thus, the partnership with Mavenir could help Airtel reduce the cost of rural deployment and justify the business case of investment,” Ashwinder Sethi, principal, Analysys Mason told ET.
Airtel’s CTO Randeep Sekhon had last year told ET that OpenRAN will be ready to form a part of its live 5G network towards the end of 2023. He had said that the telco has already signed OpenRAN-related contracts with different partners.
“OpenRAN's readiness to serve a larger scale will happen towards the end of 2023 because we want the total cost of ownership to come down. OpenRAN allows you to mix the best technologies from different partners…we have a set of ecosystem partners with which this will get launched,” Sekhon had said.

Airtel has been working with Ericsson and Nokia to largely power its 4G networks, while sharply reducing dependency on Huawei<\/a> and ZTE<\/a>. The telco has been exploring ways to introduce OpenRAN vendors to address the potential duopoly of European companies and to bring down network deployment related costs.
Besides Mavenir, the telecom operator has also been working with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to deploy its OpenRAN-based 5G network, with trials in Punjab.
Back in March, Pardeep Kohli, president at Mavenir, told ET that the company was in talks with two Indian telecom operators to deploy 4G and 5G OpenRAN technology commercially, having tested the technology in some of the circles as part of network trials in an already live network.
\"These are commercial deployments that are happening...testing is done, and more orders can be placed accordingly. They've chosen to do business with us,\" he said, adding that the deployment will happen for both 4G and 5G non-standalone architecture.

“Airtel推动OpenRAN部署进入农村市场…这是一个4 g / 5 g叠加使用栈在印度建造。2500个站点,在第一部分,将10000个站点,”一个人早些时候援引说。“收音机使用开放的解集技术将有利于TCO(总拥有成本)”。
Bharti Airtel已经推出了商业5 g服务鉴于大型网络设备订单欧洲齿轮供应商诺基亚和爱立信和韩国三星的一小部分。
电信已经推出5 g服务3500年城镇,截至2024年3月,Airtel 5 g +将出席7000年城镇和近100000个村庄。
OpenRAN作为一个概念dis-aggregated使硬件和软件,与传统的无线电齿轮,允许从不同的供应商与各种软件技术产品供应商。
技术兼容2 g、3 g和4 g以及5 g服务,并允许更多的定制的网络体系结构和功能,创建新的业务机会和改善客户体验,分析师表示。
分析师表示,对于任何电信运营商,最可观的资本支出是跑去选择OpenRAN将帮助他们减少资本支出,特别是5 g网络。
“投资在农村地区,通常情况下,生成低投资回报率为运营商和因此约束他们推出网络深入农村地区。我们的分析表明,所有权的全部成本(TCO)的开放运行技术可以比传统跑低20 - 30%。因此,与Mavenir合作可以帮助Airtel降低农村部署和证明的成本投资的业务案例,“Ashwinder Sethi,本金,Analysys Mason告诉等。
Airtel的首席技术官Randeep Sekhon去年告诉ET OpenRAN将准备形成一个生活的一部分,5 g网络在2023年底。他说,电信已经签约OpenRAN-related合同不同的合作伙伴。
“OpenRAN准备为一个更大的规模将在2023年底发生,因为我们希望总拥有成本降下来。OpenRAN允许您混合的最佳技术从不同的合作伙伴…我们有一组生态系统合作伙伴,这将启动,“Sekhon说。

Airtel绳索Mavenir 5 g OpenRAN部署在农村地区
Airtel之前进行试验4 g和5 g开放运行解决方案在选择网站在哈里亚纳邦和旁遮普。Mavenir参与OpeRAN项目在欧洲和美国。
新德里消息:Bharti Airtel了初始部署步骤OpenRAN电信网络技术,承包美国Mavenir部署4 g5克网站的低收益产生的农村地区,以降低资本支出。
印度第二大电信最初计划部署2500网站OpenRAN和规模部署到10000网站随着时间的推移,知情人士说。
据业内估计,10000年OpenRAN网站可以任何地方电信成本约120美元——1.8亿美元。
4 g和Airtel之前进行试验5克开放运行解决方案在选择网站在哈里亚纳邦和旁遮普。Mavenir参与了OpeRAN项目在欧洲和美国。
“Airtel推动OpenRAN部署进入农村市场…这是一个4 g / 5 g叠加使用栈在印度建造。2500个站点,在第一部分,将10000个站点,”一个人早些时候援引说。“收音机使用开放的解集技术将有利于TCO(总拥有成本)”。
Bharti Airtel已经推出了商业5 g服务鉴于大型网络设备订单欧洲齿轮供应商诺基亚和爱立信和韩国三星的一小部分。
电信已经推出5 g服务3500年城镇,截至2024年3月,Airtel 5 g +将出席7000年城镇和近100000个村庄。
OpenRAN作为一个概念dis-aggregated使硬件和软件,与传统的无线电齿轮,允许从不同的供应商与各种软件技术产品供应商。
技术兼容2 g、3 g和4 g以及5 g服务,并允许更多的定制的网络体系结构和功能,创建新的业务机会和改善客户体验,分析师表示。
分析师表示,对于任何电信运营商,最可观的资本支出是跑去选择OpenRAN将帮助他们减少资本支出,特别是5 g网络。
“投资在农村地区,通常情况下,生成低投资回报率为运营商和因此约束他们推出网络深入农村地区。我们的分析表明,所有权的全部成本(TCO)的开放运行技术可以比传统跑低20 - 30%。因此,与Mavenir合作可以帮助Airtel降低农村部署和证明的成本投资的业务案例,“Ashwinder Sethi,本金,Analysys Mason告诉等。
Airtel的首席技术官Randeep Sekhon去年告诉ET OpenRAN将准备形成一个生活的一部分,5 g网络在2023年底。他说,电信已经签约OpenRAN-related合同不同的合作伙伴。
“OpenRAN准备为一个更大的规模将在2023年底发生,因为我们希望总拥有成本降下来。OpenRAN允许您混合的最佳技术从不同的合作伙伴…我们有一组生态系统合作伙伴,这将启动,“Sekhon说。

Airtel和Mavenir没有回应等的查询。
Airtel一直在与爱立信和诺基亚主要力量其4 g网络,同时大幅降低依赖华为和中兴通讯。电信已经探索引入OpenRAN供应商解决潜在的欧洲企业垄断和降低网络部署相关的成本。
除了Mavenir,电信运营商也正在同塔塔咨询服务公司(TCS)部署OpenRAN-based 5 g网络,旁遮普的试验。
总统早在3月,克里Pardeep Mavenir,告诉等,该公司正与两名印度电信运营商部署4 g和5 g OpenRAN技术商业化,在测试技术在一些圈子里已经生活网络网络试验的一部分。
“这些都是商业部署,正在发生……测试完成,并相应地可以放置更多的订单。他们选择与我们做生意,”他补充说,部署会发生4 g和5 g non-standalone架构。
<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: Bharti Airtel<\/a> has taken initial steps towards deploying OpenRAN<\/a> technology for its telecom network, contracting US-based Mavenir<\/a> to deploy 4G and 5G<\/a> sites in the low-revenue generating rural parts of the country in a bid to lower its capital expenditure.
India’s second largest telco initially plans to deploy 2500 sites on OpenRAN<\/a> and scale the deployment to 10,000 sites over time, people familiar with the matter said.
According to industry estimates, 10,000 OpenRAN sites could cost a telco anywhere around $120-$180 million.
Airtel had previously conducted trials for 4G and 5G<\/a> Open RAN solutions on select sites in Haryana and Punjab. Mavenir<\/a> has been involved in OpeRAN projects in Europe and the US.
“Airtel is driving forward OpenRAN deployment into its rural markets…it is a 4G\/5G overlay using a stack built in India. So that's 2500 sites, in the first part, going to 10,000 sites,” one of the people quoted earlier said. “The disaggregation of the radio using open technologies will benefit TCO (total cost of ownership).”
Bharti Airtel<\/a> has already launched its commercial 5G services<\/a> and given large network equipment orders to European gear vendors Nokia and Ericsson and a small portion to Korea’s Samsung.
The telco has already launched its 5G services<\/a> in 3500 towns, and by March 2024, Airtel 5G Plus will be present in 7000 towns and nearly 100,000 villages.
OpenRAN as a concept enables hardware and software to be dis-aggregated, unlike conventional radio gears, allowing technology products from different suppliers to co-exist with various software providers.
The technology is compatible with 2G, 3G and 4G as well as 5G services, and allows more customization of the network architecture and capabilities, creating opportunities for new business lines and improving customer experience, analysts said.
Analysts said that for any telecom operator, the most considerable capex is RAN and opting for OpenRAN will help them reduce capex, especially for 5G networks.
\"Investment in rural areas, typically, has generated low RoI for operators and thus it disincentives them from rolling out network in deep rural areas. Our analysis suggests that Total cost of ownership (TCO) of Open RAN technologies can be 20-30% lower than traditional RAN. Thus, the partnership with Mavenir could help Airtel reduce the cost of rural deployment and justify the business case of investment,” Ashwinder Sethi, principal, Analysys Mason told ET.
Airtel’s CTO Randeep Sekhon had last year told ET that OpenRAN will be ready to form a part of its live 5G network towards the end of 2023. He had said that the telco has already signed OpenRAN-related contracts with different partners.
“OpenRAN's readiness to serve a larger scale will happen towards the end of 2023 because we want the total cost of ownership to come down. OpenRAN allows you to mix the best technologies from different partners…we have a set of ecosystem partners with which this will get launched,” Sekhon had said.

Airtel and Mavenir did not respond to ET’s queries.
Airtel has been working with Ericsson and Nokia to largely power its 4G networks, while sharply reducing dependency on Huawei<\/a> and ZTE<\/a>. The telco has been exploring ways to introduce OpenRAN vendors to address the potential duopoly of European companies and to bring down network deployment related costs.
Besides Mavenir, the telecom operator has also been working with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to deploy its OpenRAN-based 5G network, with trials in Punjab.
Back in March, Pardeep Kohli, president at Mavenir, told ET that the company was in talks with two Indian telecom operators to deploy 4G and 5G OpenRAN technology commercially, having tested the technology in some of the circles as part of network trials in an already live network.
