Vertical: Artificial Intelligence and machine learning for Open RAN network management
Application: 5G-slice-as-a-service
Ecosystem: Mavenir, Amdoc, Casa Systems, HPE, Dell
Private Network: 5G Standalone
Orange in Lannion, France, is installing a 5G Standalone network with an accent on artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms for an adaptive RAN to respond flexibly to usage and coverage. It will combine the 5G Core with AI, Orange will spin out new slices in “real-time,” depending on the performance needs it detects and adapt to demands for new services.
Orange is launching an experimental 5G slice-as-a-service cloud management service. Casa system supports latency-sensitive business use cases with automatic detection and migration to a dedicated network slice to meet stringent SLAs for mission-critical applications. Mavenir’s software family of solutions, MAVair will use artificial intelligence and machine Learning platforms to lend flexibility for the RAN to adapt based on usage and coverage. Kubernetes will integrate Open RAN software and core functions.
HPE’s Service Director orchestration software creates, configures, and deploys network slices for the robot’s service to connect at low latency. When performance degrades, Service Director triggers an alarm and it works with the 5G core network within seconds to create and deploy a new dedicated network slice with the proper QoS restoring the robot to normal operation.Amdocs will add it for digital ordering, catalog, revenue management, and charging capabilities.
