Platform Enables Spectrum Sharing and Resilient 5G in Congested RF Environments
LOWELL, Mass., Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — AiRANACULUS®, a private, Massachusetts-based technology company providing state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) solutions, is collaborating with Juniper Networks® and Radisys Corporation to develop a mission-critical 5G/6G solution. AiRANACULUS Resilient Cell (ARC) leverages Radisys Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) and Juniper ® RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) to provide a 5G solution that can detect, characterize and mitigate interference & congestion. Depending upon the scenario, ARC can perform Autonomous Intelligent Reconfiguration™ (AIR) to restore up to 100% of communications quality despite interference and congestion.
Network operators are challenged to cope with dramatic increases in interference and congestion from ever-expanding user populations and rapidly evolving application requirements. High performance, intelligent machine-driven interference and congestion management is a critical requirement to optimize RF spectrum utilization and reliably deliver differentiated quality of service in 5G networks.
ARC is a comprehensive, integrated system that combines cutting-edge interference detection and mitigation capabilities with the power of a popup cell to deliver proactive 5G network optimization. This innovative solution ensures optimal network performance, reliability and resilience, even in the most challenging environmental conditions. ARC is powered by AiRANACULUS’ s award-winning Autonomous Interference Detection and Characterization (AIDaC) and Interference Mitigation Software (AIMS) components. The AIDaC software detects, characterizes and analyzes RF interference patterns in real-time, providing detailed insights into the nature and impact of interference, while the AIMS software uses AI-powered algorithms to mitigate detected interference, ensuring optimal network performance and reliability.
The ARC solution offers a range of benefits to network operators, including Autonomous Intelligent Reconfiguration, faster deployment, improved network performance, reduced downtime, and increased capacity, all of which reduce Operational Expenditure (OPEX).
“Our RIC solution brings intelligence, agility, and programmability to the RAN. As this mission-critical system from AiRANACULUS perfectly demonstrates, Juniper purposely designed our RIC platform to be fully open and interoperable, as evidenced by the Juniper RAN Intelligent Controller Partner Program. Our innovation is a conduit for third-party O-RAN innovation, in support of improved service experiences, reduced infrastructure and operational costs, and ultimately, new business models,” said Constantine Polychronopoulos, GVP of 5G and Telco Cloud, Juniper Networks.
“We are pleased to collaborate with innovative ecosystem partners providing AI driven solutions to real world issues like interference mitigation using Radisys 5G Open RAN and 5G core software,” shared Munish Chhabra, SVP at Radisys. “With support for open interfaces and relevant network KPIs and intelligent decisions driven by xApps and rApps, Radisys Connect 5G RAN adapts in near real time to changing network conditions.”
“AiRANACULUS has demonstrated our ability to rapidly and precisely manage challenging RF environments: successfully detecting and processing over 500 signals within a 10-second, 50 MHz spectrum window,” said Dr. Apurva N. Mody, CEO of AiRANACULUS. “Our integrated platform will enable AiRANACULUS to quickly scale delivery of these industry-leading capabilities to the broad marketplace.”
AiRANACULUS will be demonstrating its mission-critical wireless solutions at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, March 3-6, 2025, in Booth 8.1A60.
