du launches a Standalone Private 5G Network solution based on ORAN.

du from Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC) & Intel collaborate to launch a Private 5G Network for Digital Transformation of Enterprises and IoT services, enabling accelerated 5G network deployment with open-source solutions and helping faster time to market with a competitive TCO. In this collaboration, du and Intel brings a state-of-the-art blueprint for a Private 5G network based on Open RAN (ORAN) in conjunction with Dell Technologies, Radisys, and Foxconn that revolutionizes cost-effective 5G private wireless deployments for operators and observes an industry collaboration for Edge Infrastructure and applications deployment to unleash the full potential of 5G.

The blueprint end-to-end solution is powered by Intel hardware, vRAN eASIC accelerators, Ethernet, and Quick Assist technologies. Intel Smart Edge Private Wireless Experience Kit (PWEK) provides a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) certified cloud-native framework for Private Wireless 5G deployment with vRAN workload optimization for Intel FlexRAN, resources management, and orchestration for network functions and edge services, high-speed data leveraging Intel DPDK, edge AI services optimization through Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit. Radisys offers a 5G RAN Cloud-native SW stack (DU & CU) using Intel FlexRAN L1 and enabling O-RAN communication with the SD-RAN near-RT RIC. Foxconn provides O-RAN Compliant 5G O-RRU for indoor
