Rakuten Mobile's Open RAN Ecosystem Sets Global Standard

Rakuten Mobile is revolutionizing the telco industry with its Open RAN (radio access network) model, powered by over 350,000 cells in Japan and supported by companies including Samsung, Nokia and NEC. This diverse vendor ecosystem allows for rapid deployment, flexibility, and constant innovation. A prime example of this is the Dell PowerEdge XR9700 Open RAN Distributed Unit, a compact, energy-efficient server developed in collaboration with Dell and Intel that handles complex network processing tasks closer to the user.
