DISH Selects Altiostar O-RAN Solution as Company Leads Standalone 5G Network Buildout

Altiostar has entered into a multi-year agreement with DISH to deliver its cloud-native O-RAN compliant solution for DISH’s nationwide 5G network buildout, the first of its kind in the U.S. The Altiostar solution will provide openness, modularity, agility and scalability to DISH, enabling faster deployment of new 5G services for consumers and businesses.

Altiostar, a US-based company, has developed a cloud-native microservice-based O-RAN solution that  enables the many use cases of 5G applications. This will allow DISH to dynamically scale its network depending on the type of applications and services being deployed. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the O-RAN architecture brings end-to-end automation, zero-touch commissioning and faster network recovery. As the new nationwide mobile carrier in the U.S., DISH will benefit from a software-defined open platform to build a differentiated 5G network.
