across its home UAE market.<\/p>\n<p>The company said in a statement it partnered with technology vendors including Altiostar, NEC and Cisco to achieve the feat, which sees Etisalat take steps to transform its hardware network to a software-based one.<\/p>\n<p>Etisalat uses Ericsson and Huawei hardware in its current mobile network.<\/p>\n<p>It explained the virtualised approach decouples the programmable RAN software elements from the hardware, allowing generally available hardware and server platforms to process RAN software.<\/p>\n<p>The ultimate aim of deploying virtual RAN is to allow for more flexibility, scalability and energy efficient networks, as well as reducing time to market, as a software-based approach is quicker to deploy than traditional methods (whereby one single infrastructure company such as Ericsson, Nokia or Huawei provide all the hardware kit).<\/p>\n<p>Etisalat\u2019s move follows Vodafone Group [1], MTN Group [2] and Sprint [3], which all outlined plans around OpenRAN technology in 2019, as traction around the technology grows.<\/p>\n[1] https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/featured-content\/home-banner\/vodafone-offers-europe-up-to-openran\/<br
