The new Arm 5G Solutions Lab has been developed with support from key industry players, including Tech Mahindra, one of the key 5G systems integrators for communication service providers and engineering R&D partner for communications technology providers.
The Arm 5G Solutions Lab will focus on accelerating innovation for 5G network infrastructure by providing a place for Arm’s hardware and software ecosystem partners to come together and demonstrate end-to-end solutions in a live test environment.
The Lab will provide secure access to partners and operators to validate solutions and gain confidence in new technologies across a range of critical use-cases such as small cells, macro cells, private 5G networks, cloud RAN, RAN Intelligence Controller (RIC), and core network.
“5G is the network of the future, but we must put tools in the hands of developers to see the full promise of 5G come to life,” said Sandeep Phadke, SVP and head of Europe (communications media, entertainment and technology business), Tech Mahindra.
The speeds and feeds of a strong network solution is undoubtedly important, but to further enable telcos and vendors to deploy an infrastructure that can support the promise and potential of a 5G world, it requires participation across the industry.
The Arm 5G Solutions Lab serves as a confluence where software and hardware developers, operators, and cloud service providers can come together to define KPIs, blueprints and deployment guides to help bring innovations in 5G alive and ultimately, generate revenue faster.
Arm envisions the Lab as a catalyst for the Arm ecosystem to develop and deploy a 5G network infrastructure that leverages the inherent benefits of performance, power, and cost of the Arm architecture.
It is expected that the Arm 5G Solutions Lab will be available to developers by early 2022. For those wanting more details on how to get involved please visit the Arm 5G Solutions Lab page.
