Why O-RAN? Advancing services, enabling progress

O-RAN represents a major disruption that can revolutionize the way network equipment manufacturers and mobile network operators design and build cellular communication networks. O-RAN’s open, disaggregated architecture has the potential to enable services that leap beyond those dependent on legacy, proprietary RAN networks. While these proprietary networks created competitive advantages for incumbent network providers, the dependency on a single vendor reduced the competitive pressure to create state-of-the-art hardware and software. In comparison, O-RAN’s open architecture enables operators to leverage best-of-breed components and systems to create more innovative solutions.
