Cloud-ready 5G Architectures Demand Automation in Operations and Optimization

5G success relies heavily on the performance and interoperability of the radio access network (RAN) and technology-enabled subscriber handsets. As RAN architecture evolves to support 5G capacity and latency requirements, new and higher bandwidth frequencies require the deployment of more and more small cells–exceeding traditional LTE cells fivefold.

Address Traditional and New Challenges with Specialized and Problem-specific Artificial Intelligence RAN Datasets

Traditional RAN Problems Intensify with 5G:

Coverage
RF Overshooting
UE Capability
Neighbor Cell Relations
Antenna Cabling Errors

New Problems Surface with New Standards:

Carrier Aggregation
Ultra Low Latency
Distributed RAN Components
Dual Connectivity
