94% van CSPs zijn van plan om Cloud RAN in hun 5G te implementeren

Ruim vijftig belangrijke communicatie service providers (CSP’s) over de hele wereld zijn ondervraagd

RICHARDSON, Texas – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Mavenir, dat zich toelegt op versnelde netwerktransformatie en een nieuwe benadering van de netwerkeconomie voor providers van communicatieservices, kondigt de resultaten aan van een nieuwe wereldwijde enquête onder 5G-operators. De enquête, zojuist voltooid door Heavy Reading in november 2017, onthult belangrijke nieuwe bevindingen met betrekking tot de ontwikkelings- en implementatieplannen van 5G van meer dan vijftig belangrijke Communicatie Service Providers (CSP’s) over de hele wereld.

Een van de belangrijkste uitkomsten was dat CSP’s, voor het overgrote deel – 94% gecombineerd – antwoordden dat ze van plan waren om de cloud-RAN-architectuur in hun 5G-netwerken geheel of gedeeltelijk te implementeren. Gabriel Brown, Principal Analyst bij Heavy Reading, zegt hierover: “Ons onderzoek toont sterke steun voor Cloud RAN als de 5G-implementatiearchitectuur. Dit geeft aan dat de architectuur breed zal worden toegepast als operators geavanceerde 4G- en 5G-netwerken zullen inzetten.”

94% of CSPs Plan to Use Cloud RAN in Their 5G Deployments

Results of more than fifty major Communication Service Providers (CSPs) surveyed around the world

RICHARDSON, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Mavenir, focused on accelerating software network transformation and redefining mobile network economics for Communications Service Providers, announces the results of a new global 5G Operator Survey. The survey, just completed by Heavy Reading in November 2017, unveils important new findings regarding the 5G development and deployment plans of more than fifty major Communication Service Providers (CSPs) around the world.

Among the highlights, CSPs overwhelmingly—94% combined—responded that they intended to deploy Cloud RAN architectures in their 5G networks either partially or in their entirety. As Gabriel Brown, Principal Analyst at Heavy Reading, points out, “Our survey shows strong support for Cloud RAN as the 5G deployment architecture. The response indicates the architecture will be widely adopted as operators deploy advanced 4G and 5G networks.”

Additionally, 5G is overwhelming viewed as evolutionary, rather than revolutionary with the 5G strategy to build on advanced 4G.

“The 5G strategy for these mobile operators is to build on advanced 4G and this evolutionary strategy is precisely why the decisions that are made today will greatly affect the mobile network economics,” said Pardeep Kohli, President and CEO, Mavenir. “There is strong support for Cloud RAN as a 4G/5G deployment architecture from this survey. This adds to what we’ve already learned – with Mavenir’s Cloud RAN deployment, mobile operators can see 49% savings in Capex and 31% annual savings in Opex1.”

“Mobile operators like open standards as this allows them to take advantage of innovation across the ecosystem,” said Heavy Reading’s Brown. “The survey shows this applies across the RAN and core domains.”

Other key findings of the report show the intent of CSPs to deploy SDN (software defined networks) to handle the huge number of data-heavy use cases anticipated in the near term. Although individual SDN strategies vary greatly, it is widely accepted amongst the responders that network-slicing and edge computing platforms built on cloud-based architectures will be instrumental in the success of their 5G build-outs.

Mavenir’s Cloud RAN extends virtualization to the edge of the network and provides strategic differentiation by enabling the Remote Radio Units (RRUs) to interwork with the virtualized Cloud Base Band Units (vBBU) over Ethernet Fronthaul (FH) at a tenth of the bandwidth that is currently required with proprietary solutions, Cloud RAN opens the door to using previously excluded fronthaul solutions and to processing of the radio interface on COTS processors, all having a significant impact on the TCO.
