Samsung has successfully conducted a live commercial call using its virtualized radio access network (vRAN) platform on a leading US operator's network, utilizing Intel's Xeon 6 processors. This test demonstrated that Samsung's cloud-native vRAN can operate on a single server, potentially reducing total ownership costs by 13% and operational expenses by 25% over five years compared to traditional RAN frameworks. The collaboration with Intel and Wind River has been pivotal in advancing this technology following earlier lab trials.
