Open RAN deployment

“

(chiming music) - [Instructor] Traditional RAN is rigid, where hardware and software are tightly coupled. Now we talk about Open RAN, it changes the game by decoupling them. There are three big advantages of Open RAN. One is the flexible deployment of different functions across edge as well as on the cloud. The cost efficiency can be achieved by using commercial off-the-shelf servers in case of Open RAN. Service-aware placement is another advantage where functions are deployed based on latency and throughput needs, and this isn't just an upgrade, it's a paradigm shift in how radio networks are built. There are certain critical factors to be considered while deploying Open RAN, such as the URLLC applications that require edge cloud within 20 kilometers because of low-latency demand. The applications like EMBB here, the hybrid deployment is required where the RU can be placed at the edge and CU can be placed at the regional cloud. The applications like machine-to-machine type…
