Japanese telecommunication giant NTT Docomo has taken a significant leap into the future of telecom services with the introduction of its OREX service lineup, encompassing OREX RAN, OREX SMO, and OREX. This strategic move reflects NTT Docomo’s commitment to becoming a leading Open RAN service provider for international telecom operators. OREX, a brand that signifies innovation and collaboration, is the embodiment of NTT Docomo’s vision for the future of telecom.
Unlocking the Potential of OREX Open RAN Service
NTT Docomo’s OREX Open RAN service is poised to revolutionize the telecommunications landscape. The introduction of this service promises significant cost savings, with the potential to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 30%. This substantial cost reduction considers both the initial setup and the ongoing maintenance expenses, making it an attractive proposition for telecom operators.
What sets OREX Open RAN apart is its remarkable flexibility. This service can be customized to meet the unique challenges and requirements of each customer, ensuring a tailored and efficient solution. Network design time can be reduced by up to 50%, streamlining the deployment process. Moreover, it also contributes to a greener future by reducing power consumption at base stations by up to 50%.
OREX RAN: Leveraging the Power of Open RAN
OREX RAN is at the heart of NTT Docomo’s Open RAN strategy. By harnessing the features of Open RAN, it allows for the integration of various vendor products to create cost-effective and efficient base stations. This approach fosters innovation and cost-efficiency, setting new benchmarks in the telecom industry.
Vendor Collaboration and Global Expansion
NTT Docomo has strategically collaborated with a consortium of 13 OREX Partners to offer a comprehensive range of virtualized radio base networks (vRANs) and radio units (RUs) compatible with different frequencies used worldwide. With the addition of seven new RU vendors, including DENGYO, DKK, Fujitsu, HFR, Mavenir, NEC Corporation, and SOLiD, the OREX ecosystem is primed to serve an even broader customer base.
Domestic Deployment and Global Vision
On September 22, NTT Docomo initiated the deployment and operation of OREX RAN and OREX SMO within its domestic 5G network. This deployment incorporates cutting-edge technologies from key partners, such as Fujitsu, Wind River, NVIDIA, and Intel, creating a robust foundation for the telecom landscape of the future.
As NTT Docomo continues its journey into the world of Open RAN, the new OREX offerings are a testament to its commitment to support global telecom operators in their adoption of this transformative technology.
