Samsung and AMD Collaborate To Advance Network Transformation With vRAN – Samsung Global Newsroom

New collaboration will unlock a wider set of selections for operators to construct high-capacity, energy-efficient networks, leveraging Samsung’s vRAN options and ecosystem

Samsung Electronics at the moment introduced a brand new collaboration with AMD to advance 5G virtualized RAN (vRAN) for community transformation. This collaboration represents Samsung’s ongoing dedication to enriching vRAN and Open RAN ecosystems to assist operators construct and modernize cellular networks with unmatched flexibility and optimized efficiency.

The 2 firms have accomplished a number of rounds of checks at Samsung’s lab to confirm high-capacity and telco-grade efficiency utilizing FDD bands and TDD Huge MIMO wide-bands, whereas considerably lowering energy consumption. On this joint collaboration, Samsung used its versatile vRAN software program built-in with the new AMD EPYC™ 8004 processors, targeted on telco and clever edge. Throughout technical verification, the EPYC 8004 processors mixed with Samsung’s vRAN options delivered optimized cell capability per server in addition to excessive energy effectivity.

“This technical collaboration demonstrates Samsung’s dedication to delivering community flexibility and excessive efficiency for service suppliers by constructing a bigger vRAN and Open RAN ecosystem,” mentioned Henrik Jansson, Vice President and Head of SI Enterprise Group, Networks Enterprise at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung has been on the forefront of unleashing the complete potential of 5G vRAN know-how to satisfy rising calls for, and we stay up for collaborating with {industry} leaders like AMD to supply operators the capabilities to remodel their networks.”

“By integrating our AMD EPYC processors with Samsung’s main vRAN answer, operators may have a strong instrument with the unbelievable power effectivity and balanced efficiency wanted for this setting,” mentioned Lynn Comp, Company Vice President, Technical Advertising, Server Enterprise at AMD. “It’s nice to be collaborating with Samsung in 5G vRAN options to leverage our market-leading merchandise for the information middle and deal with key challenges of the telco edge and RAN setting.”

Samsung will proceed working with AMD to facilitate the acceleration of vRAN and Open RAN for 5G and drive new innovation for next-generation networks.

Samsung’s vRAN Ecosystem

Samsung has made vital strides with its vRAN ecosystem, increasing collaboration with industry-leading suppliers spanning a variety of applied sciences, together with: processors, COTS servers, container platforms (CaaS), xHaul transport and cloud options. This robust and rising ecosystem illustrates Samsung’s management in providing vRAN and Open RAN options which can be dependable, sustainable and meet or exceed telco-grade efficiency. Samsung has confirmed its intensive experience in business networks for Tier 1 operators within the North America, Europe and Asia.

Samsung has pioneered the profitable supply of 5G end-to-end options, together with chipsets, radios and cores. Via ongoing analysis and improvement, Samsung drives the {industry} to advance 5G networks with its market-leading product portfolio, from vRAN 3.0, Open RAN and Core to personal community options and AI-powered automation instruments. The corporate at present supplies community options to cellular operators that ship connectivity to a whole lot of thousands and thousands of customers worldwide.
