| Verizon’s December expansion brought its lower-band nationwide 5G coverage to 24 million more people, for a total of 230 million. It included areas in central Texas, Tulsa, upstate New York and New England. Samsung is Verizon’s RAN vendor in parts of upstate New York and New England, a spokesperson confirmed. vRAN is an alternative to legacy radio access networks (RAN) in which radio network functions typically are tied to vendor-specific hardware. Proponents have cited benefits like more flexibility and scalable deployments, as well as potential for more competition and vendor choice for operators. Huawei, Ericsson and Nokia dominate the RAN market, with Samsung making inroads in markets like the U.S., Canada, and New Zealand.Additionally, more vRAN deployments from major carriers could also encourage other operators to embrace the idea, he said, and the more operators like Verizon deploy vRAN it provides the opportunity to learn more about real-world performance versus traditional RAN and better inform the ongoing industry debate.Huawei and ZTE aren’t jumping on the vRAN wagon, Gubbins pointed out, and Ericsson only this past October said it would offer a cloud RAN, with the first stage not available until the fourth quarter of this year. Nokia has said its second-gen 5G cloud RAN would be widely available in 2021 and is building a suite of open-RAN defined interfaces to work with its existing RAN portfolio, to be available at some point this year.“Verizon is committed to delivering the most advanced technology in the industry for our customers,” said Bill Stone, vice president of Planning and Technology for Verizon, in a statement. “We continue to push the boundaries of innovation in 5G, and deploying virtualization into our network from the core to the far edge is yet another way we are making our network more scalable and programmable to deliver the many promises of 5G.” -- ???????? | |||
