Ran
RAN, A radio access network...
Google is only so helpful! Could any of you wonderful people try and explain to me what a RAN is? I've looked online and it's a bit waffley really.. I don't mind the description being technical, but I just don't get what a RAN actually IS ? The mast? The 'backhaul'? I don't know Does anyone have a clearer explanation? Thanks very much if you do

Exactly as you have put
Its the radio access network.. Its the equipment at the outer edges of the network that provides the radio signal. The backhaul is the network that connects the Ran to the core The core is the brains of the network |

Google does not explain anything. It merely shows you others explanations.

It's exactly as sethpet put it.
You are using the RAN when you use your mobile for either voice, SMS or data. You are Accessing Radio on a Network. No wait, that's an ARN...... I'll get me coat.....

The US also had a mobile network called Jump which was part of Leap. If Sprint had bought them surely a combination of Sprint, Leap and Jump would have run the best ran?
