Open Radio Systems
Explore the startup turning the physical layer of cellular networks into software.
Mobile networks are increasingly virtualized, but the radio access network (RAN) is still dominated by proprietary hardware from a handful of vendors. This makes infrastructure expensive, slows innovation, and prevents operators from fully controlling their networks.
Today, operators and developers must:
deploy closed, vendor-specific base station hardware
treat the physical layer as a fixed black box
struggle to run or integrate open and virtualized RAN stacks
Open Radio Systems solves this with ORS Aurora, a carrier-grade hardware accelerator platform that reduces base station hardware to the bare minimum and turns the physical layer of 5G and 6G into an app.
With ORS Aurora, operators and developers can:
run commercial or open-source vRAN stacks
program real-time radio processing through an API
build AI RAN systems down to the physical layer
Open Radio System's technology was recently announced to be included in the federal state of Hesse’s Masterplan Mobilfunk 2030 as part of the 6G test field at Bertramshof in Frankfurt, marking an important milestone for the team.
The founders Christian Freund (CEO), Stefan Valentin (CTO), Stefano Tomasin (PE RAN), and Martin Kumm (PE FPGA) bring decades of experience in wireless systems and telecom infrastructure, including 30+ patents and previous work at Bell Labs, Huawei, IBM, and Qualcomm.
