ACG Research paper that discusses the importance of making the hardware in next-generation deployments as easy to manage as the software it is supporting.

This Omdia whitepaper sponsored by Red Hat and Intel introduces the concepts of virtual radio access networks (vRANs), open RAN, and RAN functional disaggregation. It lists the key benefits of adopting vRAN and how those benefits are realized. The paper focuses on North America and the government's support in adopting open vRAN. It concludes by discussing how Red Hat and Intel are working to support these activities in North America.

This industry direction needs briefs from ACG Research examines requirements for building and managing a telco cloud at scale and how automation can help address these new challenges.

This content will take you off the Light Reading site.Dell and Marvell Technology have collaborated to create a new Open RAN accelerator card that processes all layer 1 functions in-line, greatly enhancing the performance of the Open RAN vDU. The Dell Open RAN accelerator card eliminates frees up valuable server CPU cores and eliminating the need for a fronthaul network interface card (NIC), helping to make Open RAN a reality today.

How can mobile and wholesale network operators evolve their networks to realize the true promise of 5G? They must embrace open, scalable, and automated networks. Based on the Adaptive Network approach, Ciena 5G Network Solutions are truly open by design to provide network operators with choice in their 4G/5G xHaul network architectures-so they can eliminate vendor lock-in and succeed in the new wireless era.

Enhanced 5G services are poised to unleash a new generation of innovative applications and use cases that will place even greater burdens on transport networks and operators. Delivering on the promise of 5G, while continuing to expand 4G services, requires a well-thought-out development strategy with a focus on demands today, and into the future. Learn how to make the most of this exciting yet increasingly complex environment to help deliver on end-user expectations.

A new, more dynamic Fixed Access Architecture is being defined that supports cloud native principles to enable the control and user plane of the network to be scaled up in rapid response to increases in customer traffic load or service needs, and allows new features to be rolled out to the control and user planes in a continuous deployment approach, without costly and time-consuming outages for maintenance.

This report based on research from Heavy Reading in partnership with Calix provides insight into the strategies and initiatives leading North America service provider executives are investing in to transform their organizations and meet new subscriber demands.

Seeking to learn more about what the cable industry is doing, Light Reading and Heavy Reading have teamed up once again with SCTE, and four major industry vendors-Corning, Plume, Red Hat, and VIAVI-to survey cable operators and other wireline providers about their next-gen broadband technology plans and strategies. In this fourth annual report, we present the results of that comprehensive survey and discuss what it all means.
