“We’re excited that AirHop will make its capabilities in network analytics and intelligence available on Google Cloud, helping these customers address the enterprise 5G opportunity quickly and cost-effectively.”
AirHop will be working with Google Cloud to ensure seamless integration and operation of eSON as a Cloud Native Function (CNF) on Google Cloud. The addition of eSON extends 4G/5G solutions with near real-time and non real-time autonomous optimization applications, deployed as xApps and rApps in an O-RAN architecture, delivering better spectral efficiency, improved end-user quality of experience and significant reduction of OpEx.
“As they roll out new 5G networks and cloud-native 5G, communications service providers have an opportunity to support enterprises with the delivery of applications and services to the network edge,” said Tanuj Raja, Global Head, Strategic Partnerships at Google Cloud. “We’re excited that AirHop will make its capabilities in network analytics and intelligence available on Google Cloud, helping these customers address the enterprise 5G opportunity quickly and cost-effectively.”

“It is an exciting time to be in the infrastructure business with the fundamental architecture moving from hardware centric and closed vendor system to a cloud-based software centric, open ecosystem. There is no better time to collaborate with Google Cloud on cloud-based next generation network platforms,” stated Yan Hui, CEO and co-founder at AirHop. “Real-time autonomous network optimization has been left as an afterthought in many 4G RAN deployments while it is mandatory for 5G systems. Our field-proven eSON solution is accelerating high quality network deployments in large-scale installations globally including Rakuten Mobile in Japan and Reliance Jio in India.”
The eSON solution enables RAN intelligence via real-time coordinated closed-loop performance optimization for 4G and 5G Open RAN architectures, delivering applications for automated configuration optimization, interference management, mobility optimization and is extensible for new customer-driven optimization applications. eSON delivers significant OpEx reduction and RAN performance improvement to CSPs. The cloud-native eSON system is deployable as a standalone CNF and as O-RAN compliant xApps and rApps on near real-time and non real-time Radio Intelligent Controller (RIC).
