For most operators, rolling out 5G RANs is a complex task, especially when it comes to antenna issues. The 5G NR marketing hype proclaims the wonders of massive MIMO in delivering the promised bandwidth speeds and massive connectivity, but the reality is far more complicated, especially when dealing with legacy sites.

This paper sheds light on the challenges operators face in deploying 5G RANs, the options they have available to them, and key considerations to keep in mind as 5G RAN technology evolves and the industry moves towards the game changing open RAN model. In this whitepaper you will gain valuable insights on:

 1. The state of 5G RAN deployments 

 2. Various requirements for 5G sites and key decisions operators face 

 3. How network sharing trends impact RAN site requirements 

 4. Hybrid architectures with centralized RAN and distributed RAN 

 5. The impact of 5G evolution on site planning 

 6. How Open RAN will change the game
