“Revolutionizing the Telecom Industry: Mavenir and Jabil Partner to Manufacture OpenBeam™ Radios for Open RAN Solutions!”

Mavenir, a leading provider of end-to-end cloud-native network solutions, has announced a partnership with Jabil, a global manufacturing solutions provider, to manufacture its OpenBeam™ radios. This partnership is aimed at addressing the growing demand for Open RAN (Radio Access Network) solutions in the telecommunications industry.

The OpenBeam™ radios are designed to support the disaggregation of hardware and software in the RAN, which allows for greater flexibility and cost savings. Mavenir's cloud-native approach to network solutions and Jabil's expertise in manufacturing will enable faster time-to-market and high-quality production of OpenBeam™ radios.

The partnership between Mavenir and Jabil is an important step towards creating a more open and interoperable ecosystem for mobile network operators. With the Open RAN architecture, operators can choose best-of-breed solutions from multiple vendors, reducing their reliance on a single supplier and driving innovation.

Mavenir is at the forefront of the Open RAN movement and is committed to providing open, cloud-native network solutions to its customers. The partnership with Jabil will allow Mavenir to meet the growing demand for Open RAN solutions and deliver high-quality, cost-effective radios to its customers.

In conclusion, the partnership between Mavenir and Jabil to manufacture OpenBeam™ radios is an important development in the Open RAN ecosystem. The collaboration between these two industry leaders will help accelerate the adoption of Open RAN and provide customers with greater flexibility and choice in their network solutions.

Big Parts on Small Printers

**Updated 15/May/17**

So some of you might know that I do almost all my printing on my 3-year-old MakerBot Replicator 2X.  It’s been a real workhorse and continues to serve me well (knock on wood).  However, one of its shortcomings (reads: constraints) for the Ultrascope Explorer build is the machine’s build volume.  I know, I know... the 2X is still bigger than many others out there.  Because of the limitations I’ve had some of the parts printed for me by my local 3D Printing supply shop.  I try to avoid this when I can because of the time it can sometimes take.

When I started building my first Ultrascope a few years ago, the design was a bit smaller because the original plan called for a 4 inch (100 mm) primary mirror.  Even though some of the pieces wouldn’t fit (under normal circumstances), creative arrangement aloud me to still get them made.

I realize that most hobbyists aren’t using supersized printers with volume to spare.  Thankfully the cost to size ratio is changing in our favor as the industry matures.  That said, it doesn’t help us today.

Let’s look at Hexagon 5 as an example of a part that too big to fit in the build volume of most printers.

I took a look at the part in Onshape and figured that I could likely cut it into three pieces while still maintaining the strength needed.  I made the new pieces 15 mm taller to accommodate the new overlapping joints.

I’m running a test batch starting tonight (18/Apr/17) to see if the bits will work together the way I’d hope.

I’d love to hear your feedback and/or suggestions to make to project and design better.

Update: 19/Apr/17

The first print of what I’m calling Hex 5-A came out great.

Now I just need to print Hex 5-B and 5-C and do a test fit.

Update: 20/Apr/17

After attaching some OpenBeam, it’s clear (to me, not so clear in the picture) that some minor changes need to be made.

Update: 12/May/17

I had to print Hex 5-B a few time before I got a complete part.  I had five failed/ ghost prints before switching filament (which gave me a perfect part on the first try).  I realized I was using the last of an ABS spool that was more than two-years old.  The rest of it is now in the trash so I don’t make that mistake again.  New Best Practice:  Take a silver Sharpie and date your filament spools.

I cleaned it up and added it to Hex 5-A.  It fit great, but the nuts and cap screws gave me a bit of trouble when I tried to line them up in the makerbeam.  My guess is user error since I didn’t have any problems once things were tight.

Update: 15/May/17

I finished printing the test pieces yesterday and I’m happy to report that they fit quite well.  I never printed hex 5-C, just 5-A, and 5-B twice.  If you want to print these for yourself, you can get the .STL files on my MODs section of Wevolver.

T Slot Rails

Hands down the best – I buy tons of T slot extrusions and it is absolutely absurd what every other company charges for this stuff – Like, it actually makes me sick thinking about it. I go through tons of T slot.

T Slot Bed Rails

T Slot Rail Brackets

T Slot Framing Rails

T Slot Rails For Jigs 48 Inch

T-Slot / V-Slot

The Trax Rail System will work with most T-slot accessories from Yakima, Thule, Rhino Rack and many more offering endless possibilities. Check out our Accessory Compatibility Chart to find the accessory that is best for you! (Accessories Sold Separately) Pairing the Trax Rail. Product Overview Specialty 'T' Track allows you to slide in 1/4'-20 hex head bolts to mount, position, and hang clamps and fixtures. To Reposition Clamps and Fixtures, Loosen the Bolt and Slide to New Position. Ideal for Positioning Jigs, Stops, and Hold-Downs on Table Saws.

T-Slot has been around for many years. It has matured to a solid building system using in industry and by hobby engineers to build everything from machine enclosures to CNC machines, 3D printers and robots! It is strong enough to withstand many industrial stresses and modular enough allow for universal designs.

The T-slot system consists of extruded aluminum of various sizes with a “T” shaped slot on one or more of its sides. The shapes, sizes and designs may be different, but the “T” slot is common to all. The “T” slot allows of a variety of hardware to be connected to the extrusion so that complex structures can be constructed.

Types of T-Slot

There are many types of T-Slot available on the market. Some of the most common for small scale engineering include:

V-Slot

MakerBeam

OpenBeam

MicoRax

As show above, these 4 type range from 10mm to 20mm square profile. Each profile has its unique features, but all share the “T” slot function.

The profiles are not limited to square. V-slot, for example, comes in 4 sizes 20x80mm, 20x60mm, 20x40mm and 20x20mm :

Some manufactures produce larger square and other shaped profiles:

MakerBeam can fit a screw into its T-slot:

MicroRax is small, light and uses t-nuts and screws:

OpenBeam can fit a standard nut into its t-slot:

V-Slot uses t-nuts and is different from the other profiles because has “V” grooves that fit special “V” wheels and allow for easy linear motion:

Above are four different approaches to T-slot, there are in fact many more.

Here you can find our T-slot plates produced from steel and cast aluminum, and accessories such as clamps and T-slot nuts.
