Open RAN has moved beyond hype into real-world deployments, with Tier 1 operators scaling their networks and others following the path paved by early adopters. While the promise of full disaggregation and cost reduction is still being tested, momentum is building.
This forum explores where Open RAN stands today—its technical and operational maturity, the role of AI and automation, performance at scale, and the path toward 6G integration. From monetization opportunities to energy efficiency and standardization, we’ll examine how the ecosystem is addressing today’s challenges and shaping the next phase of intelligent, open network evolution.
Event Topics
Scaling real-world deployments: Lessons from Tier 1 rollouts, brownfield integration and enterprise/private network adoption
Ensuring performance & interoperability: Multi-vendor integration, end-to-end testing and maintaining carrier-grade quality
AI-powered network intelligence: RIC, rApps/xApps/dApps, AI-native architectures and intelligent orchestration at the edge
Energy efficiency & sustainability: Power optimization across O-RAN components, green RAN strategies
