The O-RAN Alliance has published its latest technical report on spectrum aggregation, and Mavenir has sung its praises. This is unsurprising, as Mavenir led the report’s creation, but the document investigates the ways that spectrum could and should be aggregated in the multivendor environments enabled by Open RAN. Spectrum aggregation, the process of combining different spectrum bands together into a unified experience, enables higher throughput in both uplink and downlink connections. It allows MNOs to piece together disparate bits of spectrum holdings, to create something greater than the sum of its parts. The Open RAN angle is that this has historically been easier in single-vendor deployments – where the likes of Ericsson or Nokia can mandate how the stack functions.…
