Major vendors join force to create industry standard
June 23, 2003
Ericsson, Huawei, NEC, Nortel Networks and Siemens announced the creation
of a new industry cooperation, CPRI - Common Public Radio Interface, aiming
to define a publicly available specification for the key internal interface
of radio base stations such as NodeB.
One significant vendor not on the list is Nokia, which was not invited
to be part of the standard group. This could be damaging for Nokia as
it will not have firsthand knowledge of major wireless standards begin
developed.
The CPRI industry cooperation enables base station manufacturers to focus
their R&D efforts on their core competencies and to buy selected radio
base station subsystems. Key benefits are faster development when introducing
new technologies and allowing base station manufacturers to offer a wider
portfolio of products to the operators with shorter time to market. The
operators will benefit from a broader choice of products and more flexible
solutions, improving the efficiency of network deployment.
The founders of CPRI are committed to open up a competitive mobile network
element component industry and will make the CPRI-interface openly available
for the benefit of the wireless industry. The CPRI-initiative complements
current activities in existing standardization organizations (for example,
3GPP/3GPP2). The interface developed will be used for Radio base station
products in mobile systems as well as next generation 3G systems.
The CPRI-specification is planned to be available 2003, with the objective
to introduce compatible products on the market by the end of 2004.
