Lockheed Martin and Radisys announced that they have established an enterprise agreement for use of Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) software in Lockheed Martin 5G.MIL™ products. The agreement includes development of critical capabilities like 5G-enabled wireless relay and Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB). Lockheed Martin and Radisys are working together to accelerate 5G capabilities into Lockheed Martin's 5G.MIL™ Hybrid Base Station to use within military tactical networks.

Radisys' Connect 5G Software Suite is compliant to 3GPP Release 16, and it delivers enhancements in functionality, capacity, coverage, latency, mobility and reliability to support the requirements of diverse 5G applications. Lockheed Martin's 5G.MIL™ programs are leveraging the new commercial technologies to bring 5G-enabled network solutions to market. Across all operational domains, it's increasingly necessary to support unified secure and resilient connectivity by enhancing commercial 5G technology for adaptive, interoperable terrestrial and non-terrestrial military networks.

Radisys and Lockheed Martin have previously worked together on wireless mobility, including providing key technology to enable the commercial LTE-over-Satellite system.
