Samsung vRAN
It’s worth mentioning that Samsung’s vRAN is cloud-native, 100% virtualized, and uses standardized interfaces, performing better than traditional hardware-bound RANs. The new vRAN is O-RAN compliant, which is able to run 2G, 4G, and 5G networks, and is capable of operating 4G and 5G simultaneously.
vRAN allows operators to perform network functions and deliver services that were not possible, or at least not as easy, with a traditional RAN. Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) can automate network tasks far more quickly and efficiently than in the past.
