Industry Leaders See Early Successes Transforming the RAN
Sachin’s Corner: Discussions with the O-RAN Technical Chair
Scale-Enabling Disaggregation
Disaggregating the RAN enables robust personalized services that proprietary RAN can’t enable, such as cloud gaming, VR streaming and industrial remote control.
Cost-Saving Programmability
On-demand and robust personalized services require automation to simplify service creation, deployment and operations at reduced cost.
Revenue-Generating Innovation
Interoperability and open principles are critical to making 5G a reality. O-RAN lowers barriers to entry, creating a healthier ecosystem and easing service innovation.
Intrinsic Security at the Dawn of 5G
With the proliferation of 5G comes an increase of connections and data. By extension, the security risk landscape changes. VMware technology helps you implement security controls for the virtualization plane and its management and orchestration—from the core and RAN to the edge and cloud.
