At the end of 2019, Heavy Reading surveyed 77 communications service providers (CSPs) on their plans for virtualization overall, and virtualized radio access networks (vRANs) specifically. A lot has happened since then that could throw the carriers off course – like data centers and central offices going zero-touch and lights-out virtually overnight. Heavy Reading checked in with the carriers in Q2 2021 to see how their plans have changed. This report highlights the results of our 2021 survey, comparing and contrasting them with the results from our 2019 survey.

Today’s hybrid workforce of both remote and in-office employees is the new normal as the world adapts to the COVID-19 pandemic. IT security teams are struggling to support this new global digital workforce that needs reliable, secure, and fast access to the Internet. Cyber attackers are also taking advantage of this new normal, so how do organizations prevent growing threats from web and email vectors? Traditional security strategies of routing Internet traffic through a VPN increase latency, slow performance, and disrupt the user experience. The solution that avoids these problems is to bypass the VPN by using cloud-delivered isolation, enabling organizations to provide their global workforce with completely secure access to the Internet. Menlo’s new ebook, Securing the Future of Work, discusses how organizations can deliver consistent security services to this new digital workforce through isolation in the cloud.

Obviously, RAN performance and user experience are correlated. Still, there are ways to optimize the RAN performance to maximize the user experience that go beyond the optimization of individual RAN parameters. By improving the user experience, the wireless infrastructure becomes more cost-efficient, and the operator can squeeze more out of its network for the same investment.
