At Qualcomm’s annual 5G Summit, the company announced the expansion of its 5G RAN portfolio. The additions, which include the new Qualcomm Radio Unit, Distributed Unit and Distributed Radio Unit system-on-chip platforms, are all part of Qualcomm’s goal to support further virtualizing networks to enable a new, more open, modular and innovative cellular infrastructure — or Infrastructure 2.0.
At this week’s CTIA 5G Summit, Qualcomm President Cristiano Amon brought up this concept of Infrastructure 2.0 again, saying the company is “committed to delivering the technologies for what’s next.”
