The deployment utilises NokiaÂ’s Cloud RAN solution, enabling a seamless evolution toward a hybrid radio access network that combines cloud flexibility with robust network performance.
The testing environment was based on Ericsson's Cloud RAN architecture with Selected Function Hardware Accelerator for a mid-band Massive MIMO deployment.
Cloud RAN enables the use of open and interoperable RAN interfaces along with the cloud-based software solution for the baseband computing system.
The two companies will probe the prospects of new, more open, and innovative network architectures to support STC in delivering enhanced 5G services.
