A conversation with Renuka Bhalerao, Senior Product Line Manager, Radisys
Radisys brings its expertise in developing application software and high-performance hardware to support C-RAN architectures. Radisys has been very active in supporting small cell deployments and in promoting the nascent transition to NFV. The two activities that initially ran in parallel have now become the foundation for the company’s C-RAN offerings.
We talked to Renuka Bhalerao, senior product line manager at Radisys for our upcoming report “Charting the path to RAN virtualization: C-RAN, fronthaul and HetNets,” which Senza Fili prepared in collaboration with RCR Wireless News. She sees small cells and C-RAN supporting each other: “It is imperative to mitigate the interference in a network when you have a dense network with small cells. Algorithms used to mitigate interference need a lot of coordination at the L2 and between the small cells themselves. With the C-RAN architecture, we are actually putting that coordination into a central pool.”
