Mavenir is providing Türk Telekom with a complete end-to-end Open vRAN solution which will allow a single architecture to support the existing 4G network, as well as densify coverage for 5G. Processing will be aggregated in the central units (CUs) and distributed units (DUs) simplifying the cell sites and transforming the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Concerning the overall architecture, main responsibilities of ComPro as System Integrator, include the timely delivery and installation of various O-RAN compliant components, whilst ensuring the smooth integration of multi-vendor solutions.”

Türk Telekom is building a new generation network by picking and choosing vendors based on merit and feature innovation. Once Open vRAN is integrated to the network, Türk Telekom will be able to select best-in-class RAN products available from the vast O-RAN ecosystem.”
Commenting on the release, Türk Telekom’s CTO Yusuf Kıraç – “We are pleased to work with Mavenir, ComPro and TIP on this Open vRAN pilot. We see that disruptive technologies such as Open vRAN have enormous potential for the future sustainability of networks. We are proud to contribute to the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) and firmly believe that this and similar projects will play an important role in developing the O-RAN ecosystem and the networks of the future.”
