Verizon and Cellwize team up to speed deployment of Verizon’s 5G network and make development for the network simpler
July 15 2020 - 9:00AM
Verizon and Cellwize have collaborated on a new platform that uses
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI ML) to speed the
deployment of Verizon 5G sites and simplify how apps are developed
for the Verizon network.
The introduction of CHIME, Cellwize’s RAN automation platform,
advances the use of innovative machine learning algorithms on a
next generation, virtualized and vendor agnostic platform and help
pre-determine the most efficient design for a new cell site. Design
parameters include how to identify the cell site when connecting
customers to the internet, which nearby sites to connect with when
customers are making calls or sending messages, and how to create
the fastest connections for customers. With those and many other
parameters pre-determined by advanced AI ML algorithms, Verizon can
automate optimization of new 5G cell sites, speeding their
deployment and improving their efficiency.
This new platform simplifies how apps are developed on the
Verizon network and accelerates the creation of a self-optimizing
5G network.
“Networks use several infrastructure vendors, each with its own
code. By creating an open RAN application platform, developers no
longer have to learn individual vendor codes, or keep up with
changes in vendors’ distinct codes to develop for our network,”
said Bill Stone, Vice President of Planning for Verizon. “It
simplifies their efforts to help us stay on the cutting edge of
innovation by eliminating the need for them to keep up with
different and changing data models, structures and naming
conventions. It gives them a neutral platform on which to develop
new innovations to improve the network for our customers.”
Developers that will benefit from this platform are working on
new innovations that will help automate the network, deliver data
insights, use Automated Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML)
to model capital expenditure plans, improve network performance, or
help identify and eliminate interference.
“Standards bodies are working on standardizing this kind of
platform for the entire industry,” said Stone. “The work we are
doing with Cellwize will help push those industry standards forward
and will provide valuable insights as we work to make it easier for
developers to innovate and drive new technology improvements for
the industry.”
