DesignResearch

Current solutions

• Specialized software or hardware targeting one element of the above value chain; expensive

• Home-made / open-source solutions with no support

Problems

• Lack of kompletne, flexible environments for R&D on 4G/5G RAN

• Lack of user-friendly open-source solutions

• Lack of affordable implemented standard references

Moreover

• Need to focus on novelty

• Lack of time to prepare and setup experimentation environments
