Hybrid Cloud: the evolution path to a more flexible and scalable Cloud RAN architecture
• Cloud RAN technology is reshaping the way operators may deploy the Radio Access Network for 5G and beyond.
• As part of the overall Open RAN concept, Cloud RAN refers to the virtualisation of RAN (Radio Access Network) functions on commoditised hardware.
• Orange, AWS and Nokia are starting a collaboration to explore the potential of Hybrid Cloud architecture, combining on-premises and cloud-based resources.
• This novel architecture expands the range of options for operators to maximise performance, scalability and energy efficiency depending on deployment scenarios.
