This webinar will delve into the new network requirements of 5G fronthaul networks. As 5G is taking shape, we will take a closer look into the network evolution and why CPRI and eCPRI technologies exist—and how they differ. We will explain why CPRI and eCPRI alone cannot break the proprietary nature of fronthaul networks and what is needed to make this transition. In doing so, we will address the current state of both CPRI and eCPRI implementations, testing best practices for validating fronthaul networks and the future evolution of the fronthaul network.
Key takeaways:
• Why do we need CPRI and eCPRI?
• Understanding the differences between the two technologies
• Why can I not implement multi-vendor solutions?
• How will CPRI and eCPRI technologies evolve in the future?
