CPRI sandbox
The Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) standard defines a flexible interface between Radio Equipment Controllers (REC) and Radio Equipment (RE).
The purpose of CPRI is to allow replacement of a copper or coax cable connection between a radio transceiver (used example for mobile-telephone communication and typically located in a tower) and a base station (typically located at the ground nearby), so the connection can be replaced by a fiber-optical communication connection (or another copper based connection), and the base station can be moved to a remote and more convenient location.
The companies working to define the specification include Ericsson AB, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd, NEC Corporation, Alcatel Lucent and Nokia Solutions and Networks Co. KG.
