A conversation about RAN optimization with Ofer Gottfried, CTO, Flash Networks

Spectral efficiency – and the ability to squeeze out as much value as possible from the RAN assets – can be improved within the RAN, but also from the core. Optimizing the spectral efficiency in the RAN from the core is what Flash Networks solutions strive to do. Ofer Gottfried, CTO at Flash Networks, told us: “From the core, we are able to streamline the data for better utilization of the radio. By doing that, we enable the radio to serve more users, and more radio connections, and more throughput to the operator’s audience.”
We also talked about a new challenge that operator face: “Today the main problem of the network planners is about radio connections and radio connectivity. A few years ago, it was about throughput, and about the load of videos. Today it’s more and more about radio connections and how to maximize the number of network radio connections,” Ofer told us.
At the same virtualization will make it easier for mobile operators to use RAN-aware, real-time optimization tools. According to Ofer, virtualization will give us “better granularity of real-time optimization on demand and the ability to use it only when it is needed, because we’ll get more inputs from the radio.”

This interview is part of our upcoming report “Getting the best QoE: Trends in traffic management and mobile core optimization”. We have also discussed this on an accompanying webinar you can view on demand here.
