Open Hardware Platforms Will Enable Virtualized 5G Networks

5G networks are designed to leverage virtualization and containers on open hardware platforms – reducing dependence on legacy proprietary hardware. Supermicro brings proven expertise in optimized server hardware and deep virtualization experience to these growing 5G deployments.

The Radio Access Network (RAN) will be centralized and virtualized into server-based Centralized Units (CUs) and Distributed Units (DUs), slimming down fixed-function hardware into Remote Radio Units (RRUs). Intelligent Edge servers will support real-time applications with computing and AI inferencing. And 4G Evolved Packet Core (EPC) functions will be replaced by 5G Core components running as virtualized network functions (VNFs) in data centers and the cloud.
