Vodafone Romania selects Samsung to provide advanced vRAN solutions

Vodafone selected Samsung Electronics to provide its advanced vRAN and radio solutions for the Open RAN rollout across Romania. To provide multi-spectrum coverage for 2G, 4G, and 5G, enabling increased network capacity, greater flexibility, and a smaller footprint.

It means Samsung will provide its vRAN solutions, supporting multi-RAT, automation solutions and Open RAN-compliant triple-band radios as well as 5G Massive MIMO radios. Notably, the triple-band radio combines 700MHz, 800MHZ, and 900MHz frequency bands into one compact radio.

Moving on, this vRAN solution supports multiple generations of network technologies in a single platform including 2G which is an important spectrum for the Internet of Small Things (IoT), M2M communications, and voice communications for roaming services in Europe.

Consequently, this commercial deployment of Samsung vRAN solutions will cover major urban cities in Romania to deliver high-quality, stable commercial network services to Vodafone customers.
