What is RAN equipment?

Ericsson Cloud RAN is a cloud-native software solution handling compute functionality in the RAN . It will increase versatility to network buildouts to address a variety of 5G use cases.

A radio access network (RAN) is a major component of a wireless telecommunications system that connects individual devices to other parts of a network through a radio link . The RAN links user equipment, such as a cellphone, computer or any remotely controlled machine, over a fiber or wireless backhaul connection.

Narvinger says: “With Baseband 6648, we are evolving our high-performance RAN Compute solution so that our customers can boost the capacity and efficiency of their mobile networks , enabling them to deploy 5G everywhere.”
