Ericsson and Google Cloud have announced an expansion of their successful partnership to develop an Ericsson Cloud RAN solution on Google Distributed Cloud (GDC). This solution offers integrated automation and orchestration and leverages AI/ML for additional communications service providers (CSP) benefits. Deploying Ericsson Cloud RAN on GDC Edge enables the delivery of a fully automated and very large-scale distributed cloud, resulting in an efficient, reliable, highly performant and secured software centric radio access network infrastructure. This architecture ensures the clear path for CSPs toward the implementation of a fully hybrid cloud solution for RAN.
