RAN-in-the-Cloud: Utilization and New Services Breakthroughs

Explore a 30-minute conference talk where Amar Kapadia from Aarna Networks and Shuvo Chowdhury from NVIDIA discuss groundbreaking developments in Radio Access Network (RAN) cloudification and its transformative impact on network operations. Learn how containerizing RAN services in multi-tenant cloud infrastructure addresses the significant underutilization problem (25-50% capacity) in network operations while substantially reducing both capital and operational expenses for operators. Discover the sustainability benefits of cloud-based RAN solutions and understand how this technological shift enables new revenue streams through edge applications and services, particularly in the context of Generative AI. Gain insights into how innovation across the networking stack, especially with the emergence of GenAI, is creating unexpected opportunities for network optimization and service delivery.
