Samsung, Juniper Networks and Wind River collabs to make vRAN and Open RAN more efficient
Samsung Electronics, Juniper Networks, and Wind River have recently joined hands to make the vRAN and Open RAN more efficient. This collaboration will allow service providers to operate their networks with end-to-end virtualization.
To be mentioned, this software-based network ensures more flexibility, agility, sustainability, and faster time-to-market for the introduction of new services. As both Open RAN and vRAN offer a significant benefit by separating RAN hardware from software.
vCSR is part of a new architecture in which the distributed unit and CSR functions coexist as virtualized network elements on one server. Also, this innovative vCSR technology will be demonstrated at MWC2024 at the Samsung, Juniper Networks, and Wind River respective booths.
Furthermore, this development plays a key role in realizing the potential of vRAN by fostering flexibility and interoperability among different components. By consolidating multiple software network elements on the same server, operators can benefit from the following:
- End-to-end automation with Samsung’s CognitiV Network Operations Suite: The solution supports plug-and-play deployment, management visibility, and massive software upgrades, delivering a more streamlined and efficient deployment and operation process.
- Greater agility and flexibility: Built on Software-Defined Networking principles, the virtualized architecture enables the greater scalability and flexibility needed to meet operators’ various network configurations and service demands.
- Ability to support diverse applications: With software-centric architecture, vCSR can support security applications such as firewalls and intelligently steer data flows.
- Reduced CapEx thanks to simplified deployment with less hardware: There is no need to purchase legacy hardware since it can be combined within the existing server with the vDU and other software platforms. It also frees up additional rack space.
- Reduced OpEx with energy savings: By eliminating the physical CSR hardware through server consolidation, approximately 30% of energy use can be saved.
