    • Boost Mobile and Mavenir achieve the first-ever inter-vendor Open RAN handover using the 3GPP Xn interface, ensuring seamless connectivity across multiple vendors.
    • This milestone demonstrates Open RAN’s potential to reduce costs, foster innovation, and enable flexible, interoperable networks for operators.

    What happened: Boost Mobile and Mavenir advance Open RAN interoperability

    Boost Mobile, in collaboration with Mavenir, has achieved the first-ever inter-vendor Open RAN handover via the 3GPP Xn interface, marking a significant milestone in Open RAN evolution. This innovation ensures seamless connectivity for Boost Mobile customers, even in regions where multiple Open RAN vendors are used. The 3GPP Xn interface, a key component of 5G New Radio (NR), allows flawless communication between RAN nodes from different vendors, eliminating reliance on single-source networks. This breakthrough empowers operators to integrate both open and closed RAN components in the same network infrastructure.

    Boost Mobile benefits from uninterrupted service, with seamless mobility transitions across different Open RAN vendor solutions, improving the customer experience. The achievement highlights Open RAN’s potential to reduce costs, foster vendor collaboration, and accelerate innovation. Both Boost Mobile and Mavenir emphasized Open RAN’s role in driving innovation, flexibility, and cost-effective, interoperable networks for a connected future.

    Why it is important

    The achievement of inter-vendor Open RAN handover between Boost Mobile and Mavenir is a significant milestone in the telecom industry. By using the 3GPP Xn interface, which enables seamless communication between RAN nodes from different vendors, this innovation addresses a key challenge in traditional network setups: vendor lock-in. Open RAN allows operators to integrate hardware and software from multiple suppliers, promoting flexibility, reducing costs, and fostering competition.

    This breakthrough ensures that Boost Mobile customers experience uninterrupted service, even when transitioning across different Open RAN vendor solutions. It also demonstrates how Open RAN can drive efficiency and innovation by enabling operators to build cost-effective, interoperable networks without being tied to a single vendor’s ecosystem. As telecom networks move toward 5G, the ability to combine open and closed RAN components within the same infrastructure will be crucial for scaling and optimizing services. This success highlights the growing potential of Open RAN to create more flexible, resilient, and affordable telecom networks worldwide.
