One of the most notable challenges for communications service providers (CSPs) and enterprises is the increasing complexity of the radio access network (RAN) technology needed to accommodate the performance and latency needs of 5G.Using Red Hat and Mavenir’s joint CU/DU solution, open RAN and its various components can now be delivered through a flexible and powerful hybrid cloud platform—Red Hat OpenShift—to provide organizations with the complete technology stack they need to manage their open RAN operations.
- Service-based architecture
- Application services are decoupled from network and platform infrastructure, and open APIs provide flexibility and extensibility for service agility.
- Service velocity and automation
- Launch new services with increased speed thanks to service deployment agility and AI/ML capabilities for network scaling.
- 100% cloud-native solutions
- With applications and services that are built for a cloud model, it provides scaling, hardware decoupling, agility, portability, and resilience across multiple cloud environments. With a cloud-native environment building, testing, releasing, and deploying can happen at a rapid and consistent pace, and an automated path for CD allows developers to more rapidly deploy to production environments.
