SD-RAN 1.3 Released

[Saurav Das]

Hi all,

Today we released SD-RAN 1.3 with updated versions of our micro-ONOS based nRT-RIC, xApp-SDKs, new xApps, whitebox LTE CU/DU/RU solution, and sdRan-in-a-Box (RiaB).

The highlights of this release include two new use case implementations - xApp based Mobile Handovers and RAN Slice Management - as well as the ability to run multiple instances of the E2T microservice for HA and horizontal scalability.

As before, we also continue to upgrade the RIC platform to the latest O-RAN specifications  -  this release includes E2 AP 2.0 support while maintaining support for the previous version 1.01.
