Radisys and RANsemi Team for 5G Tactical Communications

Radisys Corp. and British wireless semiconductor company RANsemi Ltd. expanded their collaboration to extend 5G wireless communications technology for tactical and mission-critical communications. Through their application of open radio access network (ORAN) technology and each company’s software expertise, they provide users in defense, security, and public-safety applications with flexible and reliable communications solutions via 5G equipment. 

The partnership has developed through the companies’ expertise in software-defined networking and ease of working together: RANsemi’s software-defined baseband platforms and Radisys’ 5G RAN and Core integrated software for establishing rapidly deployable yet secure 5G communications networks.

Resulting wireless communications networks support deployment across land, sea, and air domains. The companies achieve rapid deployments through their ready adoption of open communications standards and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware when available for mission-critical applications.

Of the partnership, Oliver Davies, vice president of marketing for RANsemi, explained, “Our collaboration with Radisys delivers exactly that — a flexible and robust 5G platform that meets the needs of defense, public safety, and security users.”

Munish Chhabra, Head of the Mobility Software and Services Business Unit at Radisys, observed, “Our expanded partnership with RANsemi supports customers who need robust and efficient RAN systems beyond traditional commercial use. Together we are enabling deployment models essential to mission-critical communications, where resilience and trusted performance are vital.”

The two companies will continue to work together in pursuit of enhanced and secure wireless tactical and mission-critical 5G networking communications for defense and industrial users.
