RAN

RAN, or Radio Access Network, is the part of a mobile communication system that connects your device, like a smartphone, to the broader network and the internet. It consists of infrastructure such as cell towers and base stations that transmit data wirelessly. When you make a call, send a message, or access the internet, RAN handles the wireless communication between your device and the core network, enabling seamless connectivity. It’s a critical component that ensures fast, reliable wireless service by managing the radio signals between your device and the network infrastructure.
