Heavy Reading Open RAN 2020 Operator Survey Report

Operating at the intersection of three key factors – Disaggregation, Broadband-Everywhere and Advanced Monetization

The new SD-RAN project is backed by a consortium of leading operators and aligned technology companies and organizations that together are committed to creating a truly open RAN ecosystem.

Disaggregated RAN solutions inherently offer the flexibility to suit the variety of deployment needs in the case of private networks.

The concept of a slice applies not just to the network, but to the user device or terminal as well. A 5G terminal can support multiple slices simultaneously.

Orchestration, or service management and orchestration (SMO), has been used in the enterprise world for some time to manage a number of virtual machines

Virtualization is used to mean a VNF (Virtualized Network Function) or a CNF (Cloud-native Network Function). What are these VNFs and CNFs? Let’s dig into this topic further.

In this latest entry to our series, we’ll take a look at how disaggregated solutions compare in terms of benchmarking performance.
