Operators are under pressure to maximize their investments and roll out spectrum as new frequency bands become available. To address this sense of urgency, CommScope is excited to announce and introduce Mosaic, a new active-passive antenna platform designed to assist operators in simplifying and accelerating 5G-related tower deployments. Mosaic’s radio-agnostic modular hardware design assists mobile network operators.

This architecture is intended to assist carriers in the development of autonomous networks through the use of service operation intelligence, experience optimization, and simpler O&M.

5G deployments are accelerating around the world, with early adopters preparing for the transition to 5G Standalone to drive new consumer and commercial use cases. Bringing 5G to market need more spectrum and hardware, which is where Ericsson’s new solutions come in, with the potential to increase capacity while reducing power consumption, therefore fuelling attempts to break the energy curve.

CommScope and Meta Connectivity have joined forces to promote Open RAN adoption through the development of open reference designs, according to an official statement issued today.

This collaboration is in line with UAE’s long-term sustainability policy and is part of du’s ambition to simplify network rollout and efficiently handle the expected surge in data traffic across its 5G network. Ericsson demonstrated decreased power consumption benefits utilizing lightweight Massive MIMO radios as part of this agreement. This will allow du to use their 5G quickly and efficiently.
