The Japanese operator NTT Docomo is doing something that sounds kind of similar to what Rakuten Mobile did when it created a separate company to package all its learnings from building the greenfield Rakuten Mobile network. Only NTT Docomo has created a new product lineup that specifically taps its experience with open radio access networks (open RAN).
This week at MWC Las Vegas, NTT Docomo announced a new product lineup called OREX, which stands for Open RAN Ecosystem Experience.
Docomo wants to become an open RAN vendor for international telecom operators.
This all sounds a bit like Rakuten Symphony, the company that spun out of Rakuten Mobile.
