Rapid.Space Open Radio Station - compact 4G/5G base station
Rapid.Space Open Radio Station (ORS) accelerates the deployment of 4G or 5G for private and public networks.
Autonomous operation
Rapid.Space ORS can be configured as an autonomous base station combining RRU, BBU and core network into a single, compact enclosure. This setup is ideal for private converged networks, defence or rescue missions.
Network densification
Rapid.Space ORS can be configured as a managed BBU or RRU connected to an existing core network through S1 interface. This setup is ideal for densification of existing 4G or 5G networks.
Single cable
Rapid.Space ORS uses a single Power over Ethernet (PoE) cable for power supply and TCP/IP backhaul. It supports synchronisation over GPS.
Globally available
Rapid.Space ORS can be shipped worldwide. Certification for EU (CE) is pending. Certification for USA (FCC), China and Japan is possible on demand.
Open source
Rapid.Space ORS is tested and certified for Ubuntu GNU/Linux operating system and SlapOS operation management (OM) system. ORS is preconfigured with Rapid.Space operation management (OM) service, which is also open source.
Step-by-Step documentation
Rapid.Space has documented the configuration and customization of ORS through open source procedures. Rapid.Space ORS is an ideal base to explore applications of 4G/5G vRAN, optimise their performance, develop new services or for research.
Modular design
Rapid.Space ORS hardware uses a modular design which supports multiple frequencies. Support of FDD and other frequencies is possible on demand.

Amarisoft license
Rapid.Space ORS includes a license for Amarisoft 4G stack. It is a plug-and-play device. Further licensing options are available: 5G radio license, licensed source, etc.
Security
Rapid.Space zero-knowledge technology means that no passwords or credentials are shared between the ORS and Rapid.Space itself. Rapid.Space is suitable for sensitive applications (defence, government, research) which require full reversibility and operation without Internet access.
