Wind River®, a global leader in software for mission-critical intelligent systems, announced that it is working with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to host vRAN solutions on Wind River Studio. This strategic collaboration will create a complete mobile infrastructure solution with TCS deployment and engineering services for deployment in a next-generation 4G-5G vRAN network using Studio as a cloud platform.

 

“We are excited to partner with Wind River and help our customers harness the power of 5G technology to transform their business. Hosted on Wind River Studio, our Cognitive Network Operations platform will help telcos leverage AI and ML to monitor network health, predict potential outages, design a customer-centric network experience, and maintain the exceptional quality of service,” said Vimal Kumar, Vice President and Leader, Network Solutions and Services, TCS.

 

“As operators work towards realizing the promise of a digital, cloud-native future, they are looking for flexible and cost-effective solutions that can reduce deployment complexity and ongoing maintenance. Wind River offers mature, production-ready offerings based on proven Wind River Studio technology that is in live use at operators worldwide,” said Avijit Sinha, Chief Product Officer, Wind River.

 

"Together with TCS, we can deliver agile, secure, reliable, ultra-low latency solutions to support new use cases in a world where cloud, edge, and more intelligence are increasingly important," said Rajeev Rawal, Head of Country Sales for India, wind river

 

As a leader in the 5G landscape, Wind River has played a key role in the world's first successful 5G data session and in building commercial vRAN/O-RAN programs, including one of the largest Open RAN networks in the world.

 

The studio provides a fully cloud-native, open-source, Kubernetes, and container-based architecture for developing, deploying, operating, and maintaining distributed edge networks at scale. It provides a foundation for a geographically distributed managed solution that can simplify day 1 and day 2 operations by enabling single-pane-of-glass (SPoG) zero-touch automated management of thousands of nodes regardless of their physical location. The studio addresses the complex challenges of deploying and managing a physically distributed, cloud-native vRAN infrastructure to deliver traditional RAN performance in a vRAN deployment.
