Mavenir Innovates with Intel to Integrate AI in Mavenir’s Commercial Open RAN Software
Mavenir has made a significant breakthrough in Open RAN technology by collaborating with Intel to demonstrate an AI-enabled TDD 32TRX massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) solution. The company has successfully integrated Intel’s RAN AI model for beam management and FlexRAN™ reference software with Mavenir’s commercial mMIMO vDU software to deliver enhanced network performance and user experience. Intel’s RAN AI model – trained on 3GPP channel model datasets – optimizes beam weights, direction, and number of layers to maximize UE throughput. The combined Mavenir and Intel solution is designed to improve performance in challenging radio environments – such as cell edges and high-rise building scenarios – and is applicable for both TDD and FDD deployments.
