Orange ME/CT PART, develop a sovereign solution for cloud-native virtualized networks

The aim is to deploy small, on-demand networks for local public operators or private 5G mobile networks. The architecture will follow the 3GPP standard for the 5G core network in SA mode, with functions adapted to private network use cases. 

An OpenRAN approach is adopted for the 5G access network, with a breakdown of radio functions. Development will give priority to Opensource software and will test hardware of French origin to guarantee sovereignty and control of solutions, with multi-site experiments at partners’ sites to test new private network concepts.
