Meet the magic behind Open RAN, 5G RAN, and C-RAN networks: vRAN-Virtualized Radio Access Network.
vRAN : the traditional hardware like radio units, and baseband units, they’re all taken to the cloud! 
This means your network service provider can deploy all the RAN network functions on cloud / virtulised platforms. 
vRAN is agile, flexible and scalable, cost-effective by the strengths of cloud technology.
vRAN solutions come with automation software.
These tools let network operators monitor performance metrics automatically and do better workload balance and simplified maintenance. 
With the demand for network capacity skyrocketing, especially with 5G and beyond, vRAN is a game-changer.
vRAN is the next big step in mobile network architecture evolution - from hardware-driven to cloud-based. 
Before the OpenRA/O-RAN starts the lead role.
