dRAX Principles • dRAX = loosely coupled CU (4G + 5G) + Near-RT RIC AI/ML • Cloud Native Microservices architecture • 4G/5G coexistence • Scalability Decoupled User • Openness traffic • Data • Orchestration • RIC platform Control Plane essential IP Distributed Data Bus Accelleran Proprietary
Why Cloud Native? • Platform Agnostic • Dynamically Orchestrated • Dev Ops enables service innovation • Scalable and Fault Tolerant • Leveraging huge open source asset base • De facto assumption for the future of telecom virtualisation Accelleran Proprietary
