Virtualized RAN, Cloud RAN, and Open RAN: Making Sense of the 5G RAN Alphabet Soup

One segment of 5G networks has increasingly found itself at the forefront of 5G policy and industry discussions in the United States and around the world: the RAN - Radio Access Network. Why? The RAN is currently home to three technological transformations: virtualized RAN (sometimes called vRAN), Cloud RAN (or cRAN), and Open RAN. In this video, we demystify this alphabet soup by explaining these three related but distinct terms.

One of the best explanatory videos I have seen on this subject!

with virtualized RAN, these BBUs transition from a combination of bespoke or purpose-built hardware and software that work together in tandem to carry out particular network functions to software running on commercial off-the-shelf hardware, now the tasks of the bbu can be carried out at the software level with virtual network functions
