Top 5 benefits of virtualized 5G RAN

5G is helping service providers revolutionize their networks, introducing advanced services like private networks, network slices, IoT connectivity, and more. And one key component helps with mobile network evolution: the virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN). How is vRAN different from RAN? RAN connects radio devices to mobile core networks, relying on hardware infrastructure. On the other hand, vRAN evolves from this hardware-driven approach and implements virtualized or software-based functions. It enables advanced next-gen use cases, improved network flexibility, adaptability, and interoperability. Existing 4G vRAN solutions are equipped to deliver 5G connectivity, so operators with 5G roadmaps can begin implementing vRAN now. Virtualizing the RAN offers a host of benefits: - It eliminates dependence on proprietary hardware vendors. - With simplified maintenance, operators can significantly reduce CAPEX and OPEX. - High levels of scalability improve resource use and network performance. - It lets operators make swift and easy network upgrades. - Operators can seize innovation opportunities without having to make any changes to their hardware infrastructure.
