RAN virtualization can help the operators maximize the value of what’s perhaps their most important asset –the RAN– by providing spectral efficiency and performance gains that lower cost and drive subscriber’s quality of experience.
As Telcos increasingly adopt NFV and SDN to gain software control of the network, the evolution to 5G access is underway. To support 5G use cases, such as massive machine-type communication, enhanced mobile broadband and mission critical communications, the RAN must keep pace to meet the evolving requirements.
