The shift to cloud RAN architecture is bringing significant opportunities for wireless service providers to build out a much more agile and efficient 5G wireless infrastructure. The cloud RAN architecture enables the use of virtualized, cloud native, and open solutions. By disaggregating the RAN and separating the hardware and software platforms, wireless service providers can choose the processors, servers, and virtual functions that deliver the best performance for their network. Cloud RAN solutions also support the use of hardware acceleration to offload processing-intensive functions from CPUs, releasing cores for other applications and helping to reduce power consumption.
