As wireless operators continue to offer higher bandwidth and prepare to offer 5G fixed-wireless and Internet of Things (IoT) services, radio access networks (RANs) are evolving. Fiber, PON, and WDM technologies continue to constitute the necessary physical layer. Cloud RAN provides scale and cost...

Wireless networks are delivering more and more mobile data, but nonetheless carriers are managing to drive down operating costs. This webinar will explore several of the technologies and solutions that are helping operators run their networks more efficiently and drive down their "cost per...
Change is the only certainty for the fast-moving wireless industry, so mobile network operators want to focus on flexible operating expenses instead of huge capital investments in technologies that could become obsolete. How is the wireless infrastructure industry responding? This report will look at...
Learn about the challenges of C-RAN, and best practices for testing
Recent advancements in radio technology have allowed service providers to deploy LTE networks using a distributed baseband architecture. Radios are installed at the top of the tower, close to the antenna, and separated from...
For MNOs that want to deliver bandwidth and coverage today and tomorrow with 5G on the horizon, the move to fronthaul C-RAN architectures is a necessary step and delivers many benefits. However, as seen in this field trial, fronthaul C-RAN comes with its share of...
Mobile network operators are under intense pressure to keep network operating costs in check as consumers demand more and more data while price wars keep a cap on the amounts carriers can charge for that data. Centralized radio access networks, or C-RAN, are an...
Finnish mobile operator Elisa is upgrading its network infrastructure in the city of Tampere to be 5G ready with an eye of leveraging its network to support smart city projects.
As it upgrades base stations with 5G-compatible equipment, the goal is a quick commercial deployment....
Cloud RAN is 'ultimate end-game' of centralized RAN
Deciphering the alphabet soup of acronyms used to described telecom networks is a daunting task made no less difficult by the introduction of the term C-RAN, used to described both a cloud-based radio access network and a...
C-RAN is a mobile network architecture that is expected to be a cornerstone of 5G, and C-RAN and fronthaul go hand-in-hand. That's because C-RAN separates two elements of the radio access network, and fronthaul is the reconnection of these elements.
C-RAN can mean a centralized...
Fiber will enable next-generation networks, smart cities and the internet of things. Fiber to the tower has already separated radio heads and antennas from base station equipment, and now that same architecture is being leveraged for centralized radio access networks, or C-RAN. When radios...

Migrating from distributed RAN (D-RAN) technology to centralized radio access networks (C-RAN) is the next innovation in mobile fronthaul architecture – a trend that is already taking off in many parts of the world. With the ability to centralize base stations (BBUs) in a...
"5G" networks are expected to unleash solutions that will help overcome barriers to widespread internet of things adoption. Existing technology limitations lead to high connectivity costs, and security and privacy concerns. A shared vision of the pillars of 5G networks includes ubiquitous high-speed internet...
C-RAN is an acronym gaining popularity in the wireless industry, though it refers to two different meanings. The first meaning is centralized radio access network, while the second meaning is cloud-based RAN. Both meanings are related concepts and involve a new architecture for network...
5G test reached transmission speeds of more than 22 Gbps.
Ericsson said it completed the first "5G" technology trial in Turkey, achieving transmission speeds in excess of 22 gigabits per second. The vendor said the trial, which took place at the Istanbul University Süleyman Demirel...
CommScope sees densification, virtualization, optimization and network convergence as major cellular network trends in 2017.
Editor’s Note: With 2017 now upon us, RCR Wireless News has gathered predictions from across the mobile telecommunications space on what they expect to see in the...
