b-com Open XG Hub RAN architecture

​Open by design, connected to the entire ecosystem

*Open XG Hub* is based on open standards (O-RAN, 3GPP) and a modular approach that facilitates third-party integrations. It works equally well with laboratory equipment (USRP X310) and commercial RUs for field testing.
 
The platform incorporates a DU developed by b<>com, designed to be modular and intended for industrial use, enabling adaptation to different hardware targets and power-consumption constraints while ensuring robustness and reliability. It also includes a graphical interface for monitoring network and user status, providing real-time diagnostics of the deployed setup.
