CloudRAN.AI and MCS Form Strategic Alliance to Revolutionize Private Network Solutions with Innovative Integration of 4G and 5G
In an exciting development for private network technology, CloudRAN.AI, a leader in AI-driven 4G and 5G solutions from Singapore, and MCS, a specialist in private LTE and 5G networks in the Benelux, have announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration introduces “C-RAN”, a groundbreaking integration of 4G and 5G technologies in a single radio head, which promises to transform the telecommunications landscape for system integrators and their customers in healthcare, logistics, industry and agriculture, for example.
MCS, with a strong history of rolling out more than 500 private networks since its inception in 1997, is recognized for its pioneering efforts in 2G/pGSM and 4G (LTE), and the adoption of 5G technologies since 2019.”Our mission has always been to seek advanced solutions that directly address the changing needs of our customers”, says Bas Piek, CEO of MCS. “The partnership with CloudRAN.AI is a testament to this commitment. Their patented C-RAN equipment combines 4G and 5G capabilities in a single unit as compact as a shoebox. This represents a major leap forward in network infrastructure efficiency.”
CloudRAN.AI’s innovative C-RAN radio solution operates as a ‘One Cell’ system that can deliver both private LTE and 5G services from a single unit. This dual capability not only simplifies network infrastructure but also reduces operational costs, making it an attractive proposition for organizations requiring reliable and flexible mobile network solutions.”C-RAN's smart BBU (Base Band Unit) expertly manages radio frequencies, allowing customers to seamlessly choose between 4G or 5G services on their devices ranging from handsets and mobile routers to advanced IoT setups”, explains Mevel Meng, Sales Director Europe at CloudRAN.AI.
This partnership also labels MCS as the exclusive distributor for the Benelux and Master Distributor for the VADnet collaboration in Europe. With this they underline their leading role in the telecommunications industry.We are excited to achieve significant market success by offering this unique private 4G and 5G network solution at comparable costs to conventional private LTE systems. This will enable our customers, mainly system integrators, to position 5G technologies as an alternative to 4G and WiFi.”, adds Bas.
