BubbleRAN
A cloud-native Open RAN platform, paired with the MX-AI toolkit to help enterprises build and operate their own AI-driven private 4G/5G networks
What is it
BubbleRAN is a French company providing a cloud-native Open RAN platform and a toolkit called MX-AI, letting users build and operate their own private 4G/5G networks from scratch. The whole design is built on containerization and microservices, emphasizing deploying mobile networks in a software-defined way, and brings AI into network automation and slicing management, making private-network setup and operation closer to modern cloud-development workflows.
What problem it solves
Enterprises or research units wanting their own mobile network they control (e.g., a factory, campus, or test field) used to rely on massive, closed telecom equipment — costly and inflexible. BubbleRAN lets network functions be deployed and adjusted like software in a cloud-native way, while MX-AI helps automate operations and slice network resources on demand, isolating different applications' traffic and guaranteeing quality. It suits industrial customers needing private 5G, telecom research teams, and developers and academic units wanting to validate Open RAN technology in real environments. Compared to consumer products, it's a more technically oriented platform tool.

Editor's Note
A cloud-native Open RAN platform that deploys mobile networks like software — a good choice for private 5G and research environments.
FAQ
What can BubbleRAN be used for?
It lets users build and operate private 4G/5G networks in a cloud-native way, bringing in AI automation and network slicing via MX-AI.
What is network slicing?
Slicing divides one physical network into multiple logical segments on demand, letting different applications each enjoy isolated, guaranteed resources.
Who is BubbleRAN suited to?
It suits industries needing private 5G, telecom research teams, and development and academic units wanting to test Open RAN in real environments.
