Radio networks must be transformed to meet the demands of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G technologies that will create new services and applications. Simply evolving current radio access network (RAN) architectures will not meet the new requirements in a sufficiently agile and cost-effective way.
By migrating to multi-layer Cloud-based RAN, operators can re-use their existing radio network architecture while reducing their total cost of ownership and boosting network performance. In this webinar, Troels Kolding, one of Nokia’s leading radio architecture experts, explains what’s behind a multi-layer, cloud-based RAN, and takes you step-by-step through the challenges and how to solve them, as well as the opportunities opening up.
Troels Kolding is a Radio Network & Cloud Evolution senior specialist at Nokia. He has a PhD in telecommunications from Aalborg University and 20+ years of experience in the industry. He's currently helping to define the future network architecture for Internet of Things and 5G, and the Nokia solutions to support them.
Some of the big questions Troels will answer include:
1. Why won’t today’s networks meet 5G demands?
2. Why to divide baseband processing?
3. Key benefits of multi-layer Cloud RAN architecture?
4. What is a good site strategy for future network architectures?
5. What can be operators do today to prepare their existing network for 5G and gain immediate business benefits?
