Ericsson RAN Connect 6381

Ericsson RAN Connect 6381

Ericsson Radio System

Ericsson RAN Connect allows CSPs to aggregate radio traffic to a high-capacity fronthaul interface, unlocking the full potential of modern RAN Compute capabilities.

The RAN evolution will create new fronthaul opportunities. This is why we’re introducing the new RAN Connect portfolio. A canvas to create efficiency and openness.

  • To create greater radio site scalability and performance to fully leverage the compute power in RAN Compute
  • To utilize the bandwidth efficiencies and operational opportunities that come with packetization in fronthaul
  • To allow for increased observability and manageability for open fronthaul

The RAN evolution will change the Fronthaul part of the network and open up for new opportunities. The fronthaul interface is moving from TDM based CPRI and becoming packetized using eCPRI. Instead of vendor specific protocols, open fronthaul is introduced. We also foresee a move from very static connections (from radio A to interface B on the baseband) to both being dynamic in nature and a true network with any-to-any connectivity. In addition, the compute power in the basebands have increased substantially enabling increased support for more radios/cells per baseband. This drives the need for a new portfolio to cater for new requirements of Open Fronthaul – Ericsson RAN Connect.
