In their journey to Open RAN, most tier-one operators have launched commercial deployments, consolidating partnerships with the remaining vendors in the ecosystem. Greenfield and brownfield networks, rural and urban deployments, offer diverse models from which the ecosystem must draw lessons to build blueprints. From test-bed to certification and standardization, the final stage of the journey is the capitalization of the technology by telecom operators.
In this 6th edition of the Open RAN Global Forum, our experts will delve into the latest intricacies of Open RAN. Has Open RAN achieved its initial goals or shifted its purpose? Our speakers will assess whether the technology is mature enough for large-scale deployments and to revive investments. Additionally, they will discuss the role Open RAN will play in 6G, focusing on energy-efficient, AI-driven and customizable technology.
Through exclusive interviews, discussions, and live demos, delegates will gain a clearer vision of tier-one telecom operators' roadmaps, the progress made and the remaining challenges to widen adoption.
