Samsung Joins Forces with Industry Leaders to Advance 5G vRAN Ecosystem

news.samsung.com, Feb. 28, 2022 – 

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., today announced it continues to collaborate with industry-leading innovators–including providers of chipsets, cloud platforms, and servers–to expand the 5G vRAN ecosystem. This is an effort to drive multiparty collaboration and innovation for the advancement of software-based networks. With this ecosystem, the parties continue to advance vRAN towards a more scalable, flexible network that delivers carrier-grade performance, management and reliability.

Samsung is the global leader in the fully-virtualized 5G RAN market[1]. The company's achievement was driven by its 5G vRAN solution, which has been deployed around the world, making Samsung the only major network vendor to have delivered fully-virtualized commercial RAN deployments in North America, Europe and Asia.

Samsung delivered its 5G vRAN solutions for a large-scale commercial network service in the U.S. that launched in December 2020, providing reliable mobile services to millions of users. The company continues to expand its 5G vRAN footprint, with recent milestones including:

• Achieved 2.25Gbps on a single user device with dual connectivity using vRAN and Massive MIMO radios on C-band spectrum in June 2021.
• Successfully launched commercial vRAN over C-band using 64T64R Massive MIMO radios in the U.S. in January 2022.
• Switched on the UK's first 5G Open RAN site and the world's first 5G Standalone (SA) Open RAN site in Japan–both powered by Samsung's vRAN.
