Dubai: Ericsson and Dell Technologies struck a partnership to develop open RAN-based network cloud transformation strategies by taking an integrated platform approach to serve mobile operators. The companies stated the partnership includes putting Ericsson Cloud RAN software on Dell PowerEdge servers to create a pre-packaged offering to speed deployments and remove risk from operations. The arrangement builds on an agreement in 2023 to develop cloud RAN infrastructure.
