What is 5G RAN?

5G RAN (Radio Access Network) refers to the part of a 5G mobile network that connects user devices (like smartphones) to the core network. It includes base stations, antennas, and other equipment necessary for wireless communication. It uses technologies like massive MIMO, beamforming, and millimeter wave spectrum to provide faster speeds, lower latency, and increased capacity compared to previous generations of mobile networks. 5G RAN is commonly used to support enhanced mobile broadband, massive machine-type communications (IoT), and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC).
