What is private RAN?

Let’s first cover the basics in this article from SDxCentral, which offer an informative primer on private RAN for large venues, factories, industrial operations, or location outside of normal network coverage: https://www.sdxcentral.com/5g/ran/definitions/what-is-private-ran-definition/

Big in Japan (and beyond)

Japan is leading the way in terms of market deployment of RAN and Open RAN solutions, establishing blueprints and partnerships for further domestic/international sales and deployments, like in the case of Rakuten Communications Platforms’ team-ups and KDDI-SoftBank’s Multi-Operator Radio Access Network.
