By utilizing advanced SDN/NFV virtualization technology, the modular IT BBU is compatible with 2G/3G/4G/Pre-5G and supports cloud radio access networks (C-RAN), distributed RAN (D-RAN), and 5G core and distributed units (CU/DU), providing robust future-proofing capabilities. As a next-generation modular baseband processing platform based on Intel® architecture, the IT BBU boasts high capacity, excellent integration, and flexible multi-mode interconnection features. It can significantly reduce power consumption with sophisticated algorithms and mechanisms, support vertical business deployments and flexible deployment across multiple scenarios, and enable hybrid 4G and 5G networks to effectively protect the operator's investment.
Traditionally, mobile networks have scaled and expanded their capabilities by upgrading hardware, but this approach increases energy consumption and the complexity of operation and maintenance. The result is a higher total cost of ownership (TCO), which is detrimental to the long-term development and evolution of the network. ZTE's next-generation network platform, utilizing SDN/NFV technologies, can help address these challenges. By virtualizing network equipment functions, the baseband processing platform can more flexibly transport diverse network functions, significantly accelerating network deployment and optimization, and reducing the total cost of ownership.
