Mobile network operators (MNOs) are now considering ways to take advantage of the benefits that Virtualized RAN (vRAN) can deliver. vRAN gives MNOs greater network availability and better deployment flexibility using pooled, centralized resources that are operating on standardized commercially available hardware. The virtualized functions that provide the network’s baseband processing in vRANs also lower CAPEX and OPEX by reducing cell site real-estate space and the power needs of the equipment that no longer resides on-site.

Cloud-based or cloud-native applications have long been the standard for most enterprises. However, 5G networks have become the focus for communications service providers (CSPs) over cloud-native applications in vertical applications, as they leverage technology and modeling approaches such as network function containerization, service-oriented architecture, software-defi ned networking, network-as-a-service, cloudifi cation, etc

Enterprises are migrating their private applications to public clouds, and users are consuming more applications, connecting to them from everywhere and from any device. This has created a proliferation of perimeters around users, devices, and applications. Although many organizations have already taken steps to embrace digitalization and enable a zero-trust network, their connectivity is still operating on incumbent network-centric approaches. Teams struggle to retrofit network-centric VPN technology to meet the needs of the modern user and the transforming business, but retrofitted approaches can prevent digitalization. It’s time to redefine secure remote access.
