AMN Uses Osmocom to Deliver More Than 1.5 Billion Voice Minutes per Year
LONDON, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AMN is pleased to announce that it is now delivering more than 1.5 billion voice minutes per year using AMN's own radio node (ARN) and Osmocom open source software. This represents approximately half of all AMN traffic across more than 4200 base stations. AMN sites provide crucial connectivity for more than 12 million people living in rural and ultra rural communities across Africa who previously had no access to telecommunication services.
AMN很高興宣佈，現在採用AMN自己的無線電節點(ARN)和Osmocom開源軟件，每年提供超過15億分鐘的語音通話，相當於全球4200多個基站流量的一半，爲非洲鄉村和超鄉村社區的超過1200萬人提供了至關重要的通信連接。
AMN is committed to providing access to telecommunication services to all communities of any significant size, offering turnkey solutions to mobile network operators looking to expand their networks. AMN specialises in rural deployments and leverages its significant experience to roll out thousands of sites every year. AMN is not a traditional tower company, instead offering a unique and ubiquitous solution from tower and power, innovative RAN equipment and ongoing network monitoring and optimization.
AMN致力於爲所有規模的社區提供電信服務，爲移動網絡運營商提供一站式解決方案以擴展他們的網絡。AMN專門從事農村部署，並利用其豐富的經驗每年推出數千個站點，它不是一家傳統的塔公司，而是提供了一個獨特且無處不在的解決方案，包括塔架、電力、創新的RAN設備以及持續的網絡監控和優化。
AMN has been an OEM for RAN equipment since 2020 when it acquired Range Networks and grafted the Range radio onto proven free open-source software developed by sysmocom. AMN now manufactures four versions of the AMN Radio Node (ARN) to support use of the 800, 850 and 900 Mhz bands, offering mixed radio access technologies (2G, 3G, 4G and soon 5G).
自2020年收購Range Networks並將Range無線電應用到sysmocom開發的成熟自由開源軟件上以來，AMN已經成爲RAN設備的原始設備製造商(OEM)，現在製造四個版本的AMN Radio Node(ARN)，支持使用800、850和900 Mhz頻段，提供混合無線電訪問技術(2G、3G、4G和即將推出的5g概念)。
AMN's radio node has been deployed at more than 1400 remote base stations, providing network coverage to more than 4 million people across 13 countries. AMN operates 18 BSCs in order to support ARN deployment, and all ARN controllers run on Osmocom, with approximately 5 million voice minutes running on top of Osmocom software every day.
AMN的無線電節點已經部署在超過1400個遠程基站上，爲13個國家超過400萬人提供網絡覆蓋。AMN運營18個BSC以支持ARN部署，所有ARN控制器都運行在Osmocom上，每天大約有500萬通電話在Osmocom軟件上運行。
Sysmocom develops Open Source software for mobile telecommunications. Founded in 2011, sysmocom is the main developer of the Osmocom 2G and 3G Core and Radio access Network implementation. Sysmocom has also been providing development and support services for the Open5GS open source 4G EPC and 5GC project since 2020. In addition, sysmocom provides a variety of products and R&D services to MNOs, MVNOs as well as cellular equipment manufacturers.
Sysmocom開發Mobile Telecommunications的開源軟件。sysmocom成立於2011年，是Osmocom2G和3G Core和Radio Access Network實施的主要開發者。自2020年以來，sysmocom還爲Open5GS開源4G EPC和5GC項目提供開發和支持服務。此外，sysmocom還爲移動網絡運營商、移動虛擬網絡運營商以及蜂窩設備製造商提供各種產品和研發服務。
AMN was proud to sponsor the recent Osmocom Developer Conference, OsmoDevCon. Michael Iedema, AMN's principal engineer, summarised the journey to deploying an OpenSource network at scale. In a presentation entitled "Open Source Networks are Real Mobile Networks", Michael Iedema gives 'peek behind the curtain' at the four year journey from zero to 5 million minutes per day on more than 1400 towers in ultra rural environments using Open Source technology.
AMN很自豪地贊助了最近一次的Osmocom Developer Conference，即OsmoDevCon。AMN首席工程師Michael Iedema總結了在大規模部署開源網絡方面的經驗，並在題爲“Open Source Networks are Real Mobile Networks”的演講中“讓觀衆窺視幕布”，介紹了從使用開源技術零起點到每天5百萬分鐘通話的四年曆程，覆蓋了1400多個站點的超鄉村環境。
"Throughout network design, initial deployments and ongoing optimisation, Sysmocom has provided valuable support that allows AMN to deploy its own radio node that perfectly satisfies its unique needs without the significant cost of bespoke software or ongoing licence fees. The development and deployment of ARN, offering 2G, 3G and 4G from a single box, means we can offer service anywhere in the world that rivals traditional urban tower solutions." Mike Darcy, CEO, AMN
“在整個網絡設計、初始部署和持續優化過程中，sysmocom提供了有價值的支持，讓AMN能夠部署符合其獨特需求的自己的無線電節點，而無需自主開發軟件或購買授權費用。提供2G、3G和4G一盒解決方案的ARN的開發和部署意味着，在全球任何地方都可以提供與傳統城市塔解決方案相匹敵的服務。” AMN首席執行官Mike Darcy
"We are very excited about AMN's success story deploying our open source mobile communications stack at scale in many countries. We hope more parts of the industry follow their example and realise the full potential of open source software in mobile communications: no vendor lock-in, no annual licence fees and no end-of-lifetime forcing equipment replacements, especially for legacy 2G and 3G deployments." Harald Welte, co-founder and managing director, sysmocom
“我們對AMN在許多國家規模化部署我們的開源移動通信堆棧的成功故事感到非常興奮。我們希望行業的更多部分效仿他們的榜樣，並充分認識到在移動通信中開源軟件的全部潛力：沒有供應商鎖定、沒有年度授權費用和沒有強制設備更換的生命週期末期，特別是對於傳統2G和3G部署。”sysmocom合作創始人兼董事總經理Harald Welte
AMN plans to use Osmocom for all new deployments, and has a larger ambition of reaching 10,000 sites by the end of 2026. AMN is currently rolling out new sites in Madagascar, Cote d'Ivoire, DRC and Cameroon and plans to reach 5,000 sites by the end of 2024.
AMN計劃在所有新部署中使用Osmocom，並有更大的野心，希望在2026年底達到1萬個站點。AMN目前正在馬達加斯加、科特迪瓦、DRC和喀麥隆推出新站點，並計劃在2024年底前達到5000個站點。
