Ericsson and Dell struck a partnership to develop open RAN-based network cloud transformation strategies. The two companies will take an integrated platform approach to serve mobile operators.

The partnership includes putting Ericsson Cloud RAN software on Dell PowerEdge servers to create a pre-packaged offering to speed deployments and remove risk from operations. The arrangement builds on an agreement in 2023 to develop cloud RAN infrastructure.

The companies aim to work with operators to develop simple and reliable open RAN-based network cloud transformation strategies and will provide marketing and implementation support. They plan to develop services to simplify the deployment process from factory validation to installation and ongoing operational management.
