"The perfect distributed edge cloud infrastructure, which can support both virtualised RAN and emerging high-value use cases, does not yet exist but operators can prepare for an edge-driven RAN if they take the right steps."
Operators are starting to assess their options for migrating to vRAN or Open RAN architectures. The 'perfect' edge cloud architecture for Open RAN and next-generation industrial applications is experimental and compromises radio performance. Operators must strike a balance between having an ideal edge infrastructure and having the best radio network, while keeping commercial priorities and enterprise customers in mind.
