Fronthaul

Fronthaul is the high-speed connection that links the central parts of a mobile network, like the base station or radio unit, to the core network. Think of it as a highway that transports data signals, such as voice calls, texts, and internet data, between the cell towers and the main network infrastructure. This connection needs to be fast and reliable to support modern data demands, especially with the rollout of 5G technology. Essentially, fronthaul ensures that data travels efficiently from local cell sites to the broader network for processing and distribution.
