DISH Networks is pioneering the deployment of a greenfield 5G network. This implementation uses O-RAN standards and consists of a Radio Unit(RU) deployed on cell towers and a Distributed Unit (DU) as well as a centralized unit (CU) which is deployed in an AWS local zone. While these components combine to provide a full RAN solution that handles radio level control and subscriber data traffic, let us consider the key architecture lessons from this first blog.

Dish Network and AWS teams have just published a public reference architecture [1] on the Dish 5G buildout on AWS. As this is a project my team is involved in, I thought it would be a good diversion from architecture posts to discuss key aspects – the main business case & the architecture principles in this post.
