PLANO, Texas, Feb. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SOLiD, the leader in cellular in-building and public safety infrastructure, today announced that they will deliver solutions based on the O-RAN Alliance architecture to global operators in South Korea, Japan, the United States and throughout the Europe/Middle East region. SOLiD recently joined the O-RAN Alliance as a contributing member. As a member of the O-RAN Alliance, SOLiD joins industry leaders who are leading the industry toward open, interoperable interfaces and RAN virtualization.

The O-RAN Alliance-defined open interface is the key feature for advanced and efficient mobile RAN in 5G environments, as well as in 4G, which benefits both mobile operators and vendors. 

SOLiD's innovation paths in product and technology are aligned with the O-RAN Alliance-defined open interface, specifically in such products as SOLiD's IA-8000, Mobile Front-haul Solution, and GENESIS Distributed Antenna System. 

According to SOLiD CEO, Dr. Seung Hee Lee, "SOLiD is at the forefront of providing Open RAN solutions to global operators in South Korea, Japan, the US and across the globe. Our early experience, and other ongoing Open RAN initiatives can accelerate deployment of innovative radio technology in mobile networks across the globe. We are delivering O-RAN solutions in 2019 and will do so for years to come."

Iain Gillott, President of iGR comments, "The RAN market is due for new business and technology models, lower price points and easier deployments scenarios – these will be needed to lower the cost of 5G deployment and speed time to market. O-RAN allows vendors such as SOLiD, with extensive radio expertise, to enter the market and provide a range of solutions."
