In the fifth edition of this event, we discussed the progress of Open RAN and the crucial role of the RIC. We examined the continually evolving ecosystem of players from hardware and software players, right down to the silicon level. We also discussed the latest on commercial deployments, security, and the continuing debate regarding interoperability and parity of performance.
