Multi-operator RAN Sharing
Active Sharing versus Passive Sharing, Deployment Challenges and Market Activity

Network sharing or RAN sharing allows for two or more mobile operators to share their wireless infrastructure, which is aimed at reducing their individual CAPEX and OPEX costs. Network sharing is a logical way of pooling resources for common benefit. Network sharing can occur at various levels and there could be various combinations including the base station site, radio equipment, power, cooling equipment, antenna feeder cables, antennas, tower masts, and more.

The report analyzes the cost benefits of RAN sharing, and the technological, regulatory and practical challenges of sharing base stations. It profiles the vendors that provide RAN share solutions, and lists the operators that have RAN share agreements in place.

RAN Sharing is a hot topic with LTE so any documents greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
