5G ORAN’s integration capabilities enable the reuse of equipment to broach new markets and extend services in existing markets.

One of the key advantages of ORAN and a major reason behind accelerating adoption is shared infrastructure.

What we typically see deployed today are combinations of 2G, 3G and 4G. 2G predominates in the ultra-rural areas, 3G in denser but still semi-rural areas, and 4G in semi-rural, semi-urban and urban areas.Typically use 2G handsets − people in this market need a lot of coverage, the cheapest possible communications, but not many advanced services and low bandwidth, so 2G meets their requirements.

Bridging the digital divide in Africa is less about building out networks in rural areas capable of supporting use cases like autonomous vehicles, which require high speeds and super low latencies. Rather, it’s about expanding coverage and thereafter adding speed and services as population density increases and people become accustomed to the services.

Front haul solutions that are based on Ethernet provide a way to integrate 5G with legacy technologies and converge the network from one end to the other. It creates a common backplane across the generational spectrum that extends the usefulness of existing network investments throughout the network, provides an upgrade path and creates customer growth opportunities.

A big win is that, as you upgrade high density areas of the network to a higher generational spectrum, so you use the old kit to fill out the black spots or dead zones that previously existed in the network. That improves coverage, which gives you access to more customers. It also provides a relatively higher level of services than was previously possible for that geographical area, which is another opportunity to improve revenues.
