Unlocking the Potential of Open RAN

Jan 03 2024 11 mins

Wireless networks are going through a paradigm shift with the emergence of Open RAN. This new approach to architecting a multi-vendor network fosters innovation, agility, and cost efficiency in deploying and operating 5G networks. More importantly, it serves users better and faster than ever. However, there are mixed opinions in the industry and varied approaches to materializing t

The rise of fixed wireless access

Oct 05 2023 8 mins

Fixed Wireless Access, or FWA, has emerged as a powerful enabler in the mobile landscape and is one method being used to fulfill the growing user demand for data. FWA is another offering to provide high-speed internet access to homes, businesses, and remote areas without relying on traditional wired connections like fiber or cable lines for the ‘last mile’ of connectivity. The

The opportunity for 5G monetization is now

Sep 05 2023 9 mins

With much of the world standing on the brink of mainstream 5G usage, operators are looking for ways to extract maximum value from their network investments – essentially trying to figure out how to monetize 5G. Operators have spent the past few years on things like spectrum, working to increase base stations needed for sufficient coverage and capacity, and implementing new softwa

How does 5G RAN improve energy efficiency?

May 10 2023 12 mins

5G is the first wireless technology designed to be energy efficient and sustainable with an industry target of 90% improvement in spectral efficiency compared to 4G. This improvement, in large part, also requires energy efficiency in the equipment. Operators and vendors have devised several features to accomplish this goal including increasing spectrum bands supported in a single r

vRAN Benefits for Operators

Sep 06 2022 7 mins

Virtual Radio Access Networks, or vRAN, are the future of the radio access side of mobile operators’ networks. vRAN is software that runs on off-the-shelf servers rather than the proprietary, dedicated hardware that mobile network providers have been running for decades. vRAN allows service providers to optimize their deployments. With software upgrades there will be a transitio

Mobile network game changers: vRAN and Open RAN

Jul 25 2022 21 mins

With the rapid push to 5G, operators are looking for fast, scalable ways to deploy while also having the flexibility and agility to manage services and optimize their networks. There are two ways that operators achieve this flexibility: using a virtual Radio Access Network (vRAN) and embracing O-RAN standards. vRAN gives MNOs greater network management and service agility and be

Samsung & t3 Broadband Bridge the Digital Divide

Apr 18 2022 9 mins

The digital divide is a pervasive issue drawing a gap between those who have access to high-speed internet and those who don’t. This lack of connectivity is extremely prevalent in rural areas which often lag far behind urban and suburban areas when it comes to having internet access. While the digital divide has always been an issue, it’s been greatly underscored by the COVI

To innovate next-gen networks, it’s important to have partnerships that combine best-in-class solutions to simplify and accelerate the transition to 5G. A good example of this is the recent partnership between Samsung and Ciena. Ciena provides powerful xHaul designed to support new service offerings being brought to market in 5G. Samsung and Ciena are working together to offer

5G & Private Networks

Feb 23 2022 16 mins

Private 5G networks are quickly growing as an option for enterprise customers, a claim validated by the thousands of 5G private wireless trials happening globally. 5G private networks support faster and more reliable connections; and while Wi-Fi alone is a great choice for many there are several environments and compelling use cases for private 5G networks. Private networks can

What is Fixed Wireless Access?

Feb 07 2022 7 mins

The digital divide is an ongoing, dire issue and the challenge to deliver high-speed broadband nationwide to underserved markets continues to go unsolved. Fixed Wireless Access or “FWA” is being deployed in large part to help close the digital divide and give both individuals and businesses affordable access to broadband. FWA lowers costs and expands deployment by using a lo
