Description
- Activities
- Orcid will serve as a 'living laboratory' that combines both lab and field testing and evaluation activities and will be able to test elements brought by any qualified vendor against a complete, commercial-grade open ran 'stack'. Orcid will use dish's spectrum holdings which include a combination of low-, mid-, and high-band frequencies, and enable field testing and evaluation. Dish's open ran network already uses elements from dozens of vendors, giving orcid a significate knowledge and experience lead in the multi-vendor testing environment. Orcid will evaluate open ran elements by mixing and matching them with those of other vendors, providing unique insights about the integration of open ran in brownfield networks as well. Orcid offers true vendor neutrality as this consortium is not beholden to a handful of entrenched vendors.
- Expected outcomes
- This program will provide faster testing and evaluation, faster integration, and faster open ran deployments. Orcid's multi-tenant lab and field testing will be housed in dish's secure cheyenne, wyoming facility, which is compliant with stringent security protocols.
- Intended beneficiaries
- The project is available to all vendors that comply with objective onboarding criteria, opening up competition in the marketplace. At the end of the 5-year period, innovations will likely result in savings of hundreds of millions of dollars for american consumers.
- Subrecipient activities
- Mavenir, fujitsu, and vmware to provide resources to support the establishment and lifecycle management of the test lines in the lab and in the field. Mavenir and vmware will also work with participating entities to support the testing of their respective solutions/products. Vmware will make experts available to support the SMO test line.
