What Operators Haven’t Told You About C-RAN – Its Disruptive

Wednesday, 10 December 2014 Sponsors: eASIC

The evolving dynamics of wireless services require a new approach that reduces MNO capital and operational expenditures. Cloud RAN (CRAN) comes into the scene as a MNO-driven initiative to reduce the cost of wireless services. CRAN is based on implementing the concepts of network function virtualization (NFV) to the radio access network (RAN). This decouples the hardware from the radio access protocol software and allows the network operator to leverage the economics of cloud computing and data centers. In this webinar we discussed CRAN and why it will change everything, what challenges operators need to overcome to implement CRAN, and reviewed technologies that enable the rapid deployment of cost-effective CRAN solutions.
