Network T**** of Cohere’s Spectrum Multiplier Software for O-RAN Will Start in Q2 2023
Cohere Technologies, the innovator of 4G/5G Universal Spectrum Multiplier software for RAN and Open RAN, and OTFS waveform for 6G, announced it has received investment funding from Bell Ventures, Bell Canada’s corporate venture capital arm. Cohere Technologies has developed Universal Spectrum Multiplier (USM) software for existing networks and Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN), and its xApp for O-RAN can plug into a Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC). The purpose of the investment is to conduct network trials of Cohere Technologies’ USM software for O-RAN on Bell’s 5G network and to evaluate Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) for 6G.
