![]() ![]() ![]() With the migration from hardware-based networks to fully software-programmable architectures well underway, there is no turning back.Īs Intel’s recent collaboration announcements with Ericsson and Samsung demonstrate, we’re working closely with industry-leading RAN providers to ensure network operators have market-ready solutions to meet their unique networking requirements. The transformation to virtualized RAN is truly a journey. Timing-enhanced Intel® Ethernet 800 Series Network Adapters further reduce solution complexity and total cost of ownership by delivering critical vRAN network synchronization capabilities in a mainstream adapter. To meet the highly diverse needs of global operators, we’re offering a scalable SKU portfolio supporting a broad range of spectrum bands and deployment configurations-from massive MIMO to small cells-and extended temperatures for indoor and outdoor. “4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with Intel vRAN Boost will be a strategic platform to deliver the efficiency and performance needed to deploy Open RAN in dense urban environments at scale. “The long-term collaboration between Intel and Vodafone is key to our target of achieving 30% of our European network on Open RAN by 2030,” said Paco Martín Pignatelli, head of Open RAN at Vodafone. “The introduction of 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor with Intel vRAN Boost represents the next phase of our collaboration to simplify telco operations and decrease costs with integrated acceleration and increased energy efficiency.” “We have collaborated with Intel since the launch of the Rakuten Mobile network in Japan,” said Sharad Sriwastawa, co-CEO and CTO, Rakuten Mobile and acting president, Rakuten Symphony. We look forward to working with Intel and the ecosystem to drive this market forward.” Generational processing improvements are critical to the long-term growth of vRAN and Open RAN. “The tests under selected scenarios showed a 2x capacity gain using approximately 20% less power compared to the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon processor, and we expect this will also enable a reduced network infrastructure footprint among other benefits. “Deutsche Telekom recently conducted a performance evaluation of Intel’s 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor with Intel vRAN Boost in our labs, and the results were very encouraging,” said Petr Ledl, vice president of network trials and integration lab and access disaggregation chief architect at Deutsche Telekom AG. ![]() We’re gratified by their enthusiastic response. In addition, Intel integrated numerous product design features based on feedback from Tier-1 mobile operators. Today’s commercial introduction caps more than a year of engineering work we’ve done with numerous ecosystem collaborators to ensure market readiness, including: AWS, Canonical, Capgemini, Dell Technologies, Ericsson, Google Cloud, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Mavenir, Microsoft Azure, Quanta Cloud Technology, Radisys, Rakuten Symphony, Red Hat, Samsung, Supermicro, Wind River and VMware. With its combination of processing innovation and feature integration, we expect 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with Intel® vRAN Boost to match or better the performance-per-watt of the best Layer 1 SoCs in the market. These new processors also include powerful features that optimize workload performance for packet and signal processing, as well as integrated acceleration for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. That’s a gain of more than DOUBLE the performance-per-watt for network operators1. In fact, 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with Intel® vRAN Boost deliver up to twice the capacity and an additional ~20% compute power savings versus our previous generation1. ![]() This unique design innovation-Intel® vRAN Boost-is a first for the vRAN market.Įliminating the acceleration card not only reduces system complexity, but also provides substantial power savings. By fully integrating vRAN acceleration directly into the CPU, Intel has eliminated the need for an external acceleration card. Today marks a new milestone as we announce commercial availability of our latest and most integrated vRAN solution yet – 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with Intel® vRAN Boost.įirst launched at MWC 2023, these processors are designed for powering high-performance, power-efficient vRANs. Over the last decade, Intel has shown the world that virtualized radio access networks (vRANs) on general purpose processors are competitive in terms of power and performance compared to a traditional network architecture.
