Juniper Networks announced a collaboration with Intel to accelerate advancement in the open radio access network (ORAN) ecosystem and highlight the companies' innovative approach to an industrywide challenge. Intel's effort with Juniper includes:

The Intel FlexRAN reference architecture and Juniper RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) is pre-integrated and pre-validated to enhance usability of a full ORAN-compliant intelligent RAN system.

Collaborative research and development work with Intel Labs for RIC platform-specific apps to improve customer experience, maximize operator investment return on investment and drive rapid ORAN ecosystem innovation.

Joint customer test beds with Juniper to validate performance-improving implementation and speed of time-to-market.

As operators continue to transform their infrastructure for 5G, open RAN is top of mind in the network industry.
