Chris Gu, Principal Product Manager at Spirent Communications goes into an in-depth discussion on the concept of Open RAN split and why balancing centralization with disaggregation is important. Chris explores the main deployment topologies seen in real-world Open RAN implementations, and the considerations that influence whether operators should choose a centralized or disaggregated model. Chris explains how different RAN splits impacts network performance and end-user experience, as well as network security. He also discusses the role of real-time end-to-end testing in both disaggregated and centralized Open RAN, and how Spirent’s solutions address performance testing needs in all scenarios.
