SMALL CELL FORUM (SCF) Radisys' engagement with the SCF dates back to 2007, marking its role as one of the pioneering members. Radisys was one of the early adopters to provide FAPI- based implementation, and it has been leading the standardization of 5G nFAPI for the past four years. Moreover, the company's open RAN contributions were acknowledged with awards in 2020, 2021, and 2022. TELECOM INFRA PROJECT (TIP) TIP has also seen significant contributions from Radisys since its early days in 2016. Radisys has been instrumental in leading contributions in the "Unbundled RAN" initiative, which focuses on defining open APIs in base station layers 2 and 3. Radisys also has contributed to 5G Open RAN community labs and has played a role as an LTE eNB RAN system integrator in TIP projects in various locations, such as Menlo Park, SKT, and TIM (Italy). 5G MAGAZINE | #28 OPEN NETWORKING FOUNDATION (ONF) As an early member of the On.Lab initiative that was later integrated into the ONF, Radisys has been a pioneer in providing CORD architecture-based implementation. The company has initiated multiple CORD-based projects with Tier-1 operators and made open-source EPC contributions to M-CORD. It is also the founder of the SD-RAN initiative in ONF, where it facilitated the successful integration with ONF's near RT RIC. O-RAN ALLIANCE Within the O-RAN Alliance, Radisys co-chairs Working Group 8 and is instrumental in driving reference software design specifications and test specifications. Radisys' contributions to O-RAN span various working groups, including WG3, which has made key contributions to E2SM and E2AP, TIFG for test specification contributions, and WG6 for energy savings use cases. Since 2019, Radisys has been leading the open-source 5G DU project as its project head. 3GPP As part of the 3GPP, Radisys has been actively driving contributions from Release 16/17 in RAN2 and RAN3 groups and is geared up for further contributions to Release 18 and beyond. OPEN SOURCE Radisys also maintains memberships in other industry forums like the ORPC, NextG Alliance, and OnGo Alliance. Its contributions extend to open- source projects under the Linux Foundation, where it plays a key role in the development of the 5G DU for the O-RAN open- source community. Radisys serves as the Project Technical Lead for DU development and is a voting member of the Technical Oversight Committee for this open-source community. CONCLUSION In conclusion, Radisys' widespread involvement and leadership roles in industry and standards organizations showcase its continuous dedication to fostering open architectures and standards within the telecommunication field.
