Securing LTE & 5G Radio Access Network Sharing: Maximizing Return with Confidence2 White Paper Palo Alto Networks | RAN Sharing Opportunities and Risks of RAN Sharing The continued progress of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) toward 5G promises many advantages that will revolutionize connectivity. Among those advantages are faster speeds, lower latency, greater bandwidth to handle more devices, potentially increased coverage and the ability to interconnect anything to anything (people, machines, objects and devices)—from smartphones to smart cars and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, advantages come with risks. This paper looks at the mix of architectures, primarily LTE and 5G, that will comprise mobile networks for the near future, focusing particularly on the needs
