Open RAN Deployments in the Real World: What they'll look like and how to make sure they perform
Open RAN networks are viewed by some as an all or nothing initiative: if they aren't fully multi-vendor and disaggregated in the early days of rollout, then the initiative has failed. The reality is more complex. There are many options for deploying Open RAN, which means providers have a variety of paths they can take to address their specific needs. In this webinar, we examine the fundamental value of Open RAN from multiple angles, discuss broad real-world deployment scenarios, and address why it’s important to align test strategies to individual business models prior to investing in the technology.
