Radio access networks
Software R&D for radio access networks
Radio access networks (RAN) is historically one of MERA’s key competence domains. The company first got involved into software R&D for RAN node in 1995 with a carrier-grade GSM OAM solution for a major telecom customer. Since then MERA has tremendously expanded its RAN domain competence in 2G and moved beyond 2G into 3G RAN and finally got involved into software prototyping for 4G RAN. Naturally, MERA has built a solid foundation in a variety of underlying RAN technologies, telecom platforms and protocol stacks.
