Radio Access Technology (RAT)

srsRAN

srsRAN is an open-source software radio implementation that provides complete 4G and 5G cellular network functionality. It offers a flexible and customizable platform for research, development, and testing of wireless communication systems, supporting both UE (User Equipment) and base station implementations.

OAI

OpenAirInterface (OAI) is a comprehensive open-source platform that implements 4G LTE and 5G NR radio access and core network protocols. It enables researchers and developers to create and experiment with end-to-end mobile network solutions, supporting various deployment scenarios from small-scale testbeds to production-ready implementations.

mmWave

Millimeter Wave (mmWave) technology operates in frequency bands from 24 GHz to 100 GHz, providing significantly higher bandwidth and data rates for 5G networks. This technology enables ultra-high-speed wireless communications with reduced latency, though it faces challenges with signal propagation, requiring dense network deployments and advanced beamforming techniques to overcome limited range and penetration capabilities.
