Participating with the other members of the coalition, Pivotal said it “will continue its ongoing effort to evangelize RAN innovation, interoperability and security.”

For years, we have contributed to building an enduring infrastructural base for telecommunications and, notably, we have led development of global beamforming standards and specifications.”
