REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE
Building Blocks: Devices & Radio Interface
O-RAN
Empowered by principles of intelligence and
openness, the O-RAN Architecture is the foundation
for building a virtualized RAN on open hardware
and cloud, with embedded AI-powered radio control.

REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE
Building Blocks: Edge Infrastructure
Multiple-Access Edge Computing (MEC)
Bring logic and cloud computing power to
the edge of a network, closer to end users,
reducing latency, and network congestion.

REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE
Building Blocks: Core Network & Internet, Cloud Infrastructure
Distributed Cloud
Public cloud services available in remote
locations, a single control plane for unified
developer / strategy experience, and secure &
reliable network tunnels, are the key components
of a distributed cloud implementation.

Key Takeaways
! 5G’s Future lays on
Justified ROIs involving
significant Implementation
and Modernization Costs
! Scaling-up ULL Solutions
generates challenges such
as Increased Data Volumes
and Attack Surfaces
ü Distributed Cloud with AWS
provides a Single Control Plane
for the setup and maintenance
of an E2E solution
ü Edge AI, 5G, and IoT are the
perfect Triade for Unlocking
new ULL Use-Cases and
Business Opportunities
