Inc
Centralized RAN or C-RAN is an architectural shift in RAN (Radio Access Network) design, where the
bulk of baseband processing is centralized and aggregated for a large number of distributed radio nodes.
In comparison to standalone clusters of base stations, C-RAN provides significant performance and
economic benefits such as baseband pooling, enhanced coordination between cells, virtualization,
network extensibility, smaller deployment footprint and reduced power consumption.
Although Japan and South Korea continue to spearhead commercial C-RAN investments, interest is also
growing in other parts of the world. Mobile operators such as China Mobile, Orange, Verizon and Sprint
are already investing in the technology.
Estimates that global investments on C-RAN architecture networks will reach over $7 Billion by the end
of 2016. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 20% between 2016 and 2020. These
investments will include spending on RRHs (Remote Radio Heads), BBUs (Baseband Units) and
fronthaul transport networking gear.
