With many initial 5G core network transformations complete, telecommunications providers are now turning their attention to the RAN. For them, there are several paths to choose. They can continue to work with legacy vendors by growing out their proprietary RAN systems, missing out on the opportunity to build a best-of-breed RAN solution from multiple partners. Or they can follow the path of Open RAN and with Dell Technologies as a trusted partner to assemble and manage the right pieces from the industry’s O-RAN leaders.
Dell PowerEdge XR11/12 servers are the latest examples of Dell’s commitment to open 5G solutions. These servers are built by telco experts specifically for telco edge applications, using a security-first approach and featuring high-performance compute, storage, and analytics components. In addition, they have been bundled with our broader Open RAN Reference Architecture to form the foundation of a seamless, complete vRAN solution that includes hardware, software, and services.
