What does RAN mean in 5G?

5G Core (5GC) is the heart of a 5G mobile network . It establishes reliable, secure connectivity to the network for end users and provides access to its services.

What is 5G RAN? 5G is about connecting things everywhere while enabling new use cases. A 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) uses 5G radio FDD frequencies to provide wireless connectivity to devices to deliver these incredible applications.

The RAN links user equipment, such as a cellphone, computer or any remotely controlled machine, over a fiber or wireless backhaul connection. That link goes to the core network, which manages subscriber information, location and more.

A radio access network (RAN) is the part of a mobile network that connects end-user devices, like smartphones, to the cloud . This is achieved by sending information via radio waves from end-user devices to a RAN’s transceivers, and finally from the transceivers to the core network which connects to the global internet.
