SRS validates nine O-RUs for O-RAN networks

Software Radio Systems (SRS) has integrated and tested nine O-RAN Radio Units (O-RUs) from leading vendors Benetel, Foxconn, Picocom, Liteon, VVDN and AMD with its srsRAN Enterprise 5G software solution.

Designed to simplify the deployment of 5G private networks, srsRAN Enterprise 5G enables high-performance, low-latency connectivity across diverse environments using interoperable, standards-compliant O-RUs.

The srsRAN Enterprise 5G CU+DU stack is optimised for O-RAN Split 7.2. By supporting seamless interoperability with third-party O-RUs, the innovative software solution enables customers to deploy scalable and flexible 5G networks rapidly, without requiring complex integration support.

“Quick and efficient activation of high-performance private 5G networks delivers on the promise of an Open RAN ecosystem which will be built on best-in-class equipment and solutions,” said Paul Sutton, CEO of SRS. “Each vendor brings unique capabilities, enabling customers to deploy 5G solutions tailored to their needs, from indoor private networks to large-scale outdoor deployments. We are delighted to have demonstrated srsRAN’s flexibility by integrating with some of the industry’s leading O-RUs to deliver a range of deployment-ready solutions for 5G Open RAN.”

A key differentiator of the SRS solution is its unique Open Fronthaul (OFH) library and API, which accelerates the integration of new O-RU models and streamlines deployments, allowing customers to quickly deploy robust 5G networks using best-in-class radios for the use-case along with general-purpose RAN compute hardware.

The srsRAN Enterprise 5G solution is portable, with built-in support for multiple architectures, including Intel, AMD, ARM, and NXP platforms. This ensures that customers can select the ideal configuration based on their performance, cost, and environmental requirements.

With lightweight deployment requirements, srsRAN Enterprise 5G offers a fully scalable network solution for enterprises looking to modernise connectivity while maintaining flexibility in hardware choices.
