Understanding the DU and CU in Open RAN Architecture
Open RAN has ushered in a fresh chapter for telecommunications. By championing flexibility, interoperability, and cost efficiency, Open RAN is a progressive approach to network architecture. Central to this vision are two primary components: the Distributed Unit (DU) and the Central Unit (CU). This article provides an in-depth exploration of these integral units within the Open RAN ecosystem.

Igniting Innovation in the Open RAN Ecosystem: Accelleran’s Pioneering Journey with Digital Catapult and Vodafone
Our journey in the realm of Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) has been marked by constant innovation, collaboration, and technological advancement. Recently, we have taken significant strides forward through our collaboration with Digital Catapult and Vodafone, bringing about a unique opportunity for driving progress in the Open RAN field.
During the event, our CSO, Arnaud Polster, joined a panel discussion shedding light on the innovation potential of AI/ML in Open RAN. He emphasised the significance of RIC use cases for ecosystem readiness and highlighted the critical role of Open RAN in fostering supply chain diversification and enhancing network energy efficiency.
Node-H and Accelleran show 5G SA O-RAN interoperability in German industrial trials
Node-H and Accelleran are supporting 5G SA trials with leading Germany companies in which Accelleran’s RIC and CU work alongside Node-H’s DU/RU to create low-cost but sophisticated Campus Networks.
Node-H and Accelleran have worked together to integrate their 5G SA technology to seamlessly support a 5G SA solution which combines the RIC and CU from Accelleran and the DU and RU from Node-H, integrated on the technology of its hardware partners, Askey and T&W. This provides mobile operators and system integrators an O-RAN compliant solution in a simple-to-deploy form and as low-cost solution. It also provides an upgrade path to support a range of indoor and outdoor products supporting different powers and bands, all based around the same low-cost hardware platform, as well as a roadmap to Rel-16 and Rel-17 as the platforms evolve.
