Wireless innovator CableFree: Wireless Excellence joins SONIC labs, demonstrates OpenRAN leadership
CableFree radios are being included in the latest SONIC Labs ecosystem to create an interoperable OpenRAN ecosystem. The CableFree radios selected represent the latest in high performance 5G technology, designed and manufactured in the UK at our facilities at the Oxford Science Park.
SONIC (SmartRAN Open Network Interoperability Centre) Labs is a two year programme from Digital Catapult and Ofcom, funded by DCMS, to allow new solution providers to enter the telecoms supply chain in the UK. It will drive forward the rollout of a new wireless communication technology known as Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN), which enables mobile networks to be built using a variety of different equipment suppliers.
Digital Catapult and SONIC Labs
Digital Catapult will help the five organisations to integrate their Open RAN products into working end to end systems, by enabling testing in indoor mobile network settings. The programme is creating a collaborative environment for testing how easily different Open RAN products, solutions and services from multiple vendors can integrate and exchange information.

This is part of £15 million government investment in the SONIC Labs programme to diversify the global telecoms supply chain and deliver fast, secure and reliable connectivity
Accelerating the adoption of Open RAN technology has the potential to diversify the UK 5G supply chain so it is fit for the future – making it more secure and accessible for new market entrants.
