Virtual RAN (vRAN) with Hardware Acceleration
By Intel
Many operators are embracing a shift to virtualized Radio Access Networks (vRANs) that run baseband unit (BBU) features in virtual machines (VMs) on industry-standard, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers. This change is a transition away from traditional, dedicated hardware to general-purpose computing platforms located in a central location or at the network’s edge near the radio tower.
