Is RAN automation central to 5G – or is it a distant dream?
- Thursday | 19th September, 2019
Plans to implement advanced machine learning based automation in 5G networks are grinding to a halt, with operators slowing investment and reducing their ambitions. This comes from a report out this week from Rethink Technology Research in its RAN Research service entitled, “RAN automation is central to the 5G case – but is it a distant dream?” Automation and SON deployments, trends to 2025. Failure to properly see through the full automation of 5G will mean much of the business case for installing it in the first place will be lost. There are three key operational benefits of running 5G which change the economics of the network, but which make RAN automation more critical to the mobile business case. Failure to prepare automation will result in lower OPEX reductions than predicted, and could potentially completely derail 5G.
