Now, Operators Have the Key to Open RAN Success
The challenge of a multi-vendor scenario for operators is not as insurmountable as it once was thought due to the
efforts of the O-RAN Alliance. The work done by the working groups, the O-RAN plugfests, along with the neutral
OTIC labs, is helping address the integration needs of the Open RAN ecosystem. Operators now have a way of
evaluating the readiness of Open RAN solutions and are now taking them into their labs and testing them more
extensively.
The industry makeup is shifting from a handful of vendors to a more robust ecosystem that is changing the
deployment mix on a regional and global scale. By ensuring that solutions are completely ready for deployment
and bringing in system integrators with a deep understanding of the nuances required in turning a multi-vendor
offering into a hardened, ready to deploy end-to-end solution, the Open RAN ecosystem has met one of its biggest
challenges, and is continuing to fundamentally alter the state of the industry.
In the next installment in our blog series, we will look at how these Open RAN solutions are performing compared
to traditional solutions. Thanks to the benchmarking work that we have talked about, we have a really good idea.
