Capgemini and Deutsche Telekom said they had engineered a unified, open platform for intelligent Radio Access Network (RAN) automation to simplify operations and improve network performance.

The companies said that as RAN Simulator (RANS) evolved, telecom operators managed increasingly complex RAN environments that spanned multiple vendors, technologies and generations, which constrained agility and raised Operational Expenditure (OpEx). The press release described Open RAN as an approach seeking to create open, intelligent and interoperable RAN Simulator (RANS).

They developed a Service Management and Orchestration platform that operated consistently across Open RAN (O-RAN) and legacy RAN environments, including 5G and 4G for Deutsche Telekom’s European segments. The platform supported operator-defined policies, multi-vendor RAN management, rApps that could automate RAN functions using Artificial Intelligence (AI) or digital twins, and Radio Intelligent Controllers deployable on hyperscaler platforms or private telco clouds.

“Telcos need simplicity, intelligence and openness in the RAN and our solution delivers exactly that. We are giving operators control, automation, and a path to an autonomous network. This solution delivers a truly multi-vendor, standards-aligned SMO platform that brings automation, openness, and intelligence to any RAN -legacy or O-RAN. With standardized interfaces, AI-powered rApps, and a vendor-neutral architecture, operators can finally innovate at the pace the market demands,” said Shamik Mishra.

“A vendor-independent, standards-compliant SMO is fundamental to the evolution of how we operate our radio access networks,” “Together with Capgemini, we are engineering an SMO platform that brings intelligence and automation across both Open RAN and legacy SRAN environments.

Shaped by real operational experience, the platform is built for multi-vendor networks. As we prepare to roll it out across Deutsche Telekom’s entire European footprint, we are also together readying it for the global market as a software service for operators worldwide,” said Thomas Lips, SVP RAN, Disaggregation & Enablement, Deutsche Telekom. They were preparing to roll it out across Deutsche Telekom’s entire European footprint and were readying it for the global market as a software service for operators worldwide.
