RAN automation needs digital antennas. With Aleksis Anterow at Huawei

Listen Later

We are ready to move beyond the traditional approach that treats antennas as passive, set-and-forget transducers. Until now, this lack of visibility has left operators unable to fine-tune or optimize the radiation layer, especially in real time. Digital antennas provide the visibility and control necessary to make the antenna an integral part of a closed-loop, AI-driven RAN.

In this Sparring Partners, I talk with Aleksis Anterow, CMO of Huawei’s Antenna Business Unit, about the essential role of digital antennas in increasing network sustainability, efficiency, and supporting new services.

  • Bridging the visibility gap: Establishing the ground truth needed to optimize RAN performance and user experience.
  • Closing the loop: Moving from open-loop manual adjustments to real-time, automated antenna management.
  • Initial lessons learned: China Mobile’s large-scale digital antenna deployments.
  • Evolutionary adoption: How to gradually introduce digital antenna capabilities into existing mobile networks.
  • Getting ready for 6G: Digital antennas as sensors for drone services and Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC).
