5G Magazine – Open RAN Edition

Hello, and welcome to the July issue of the 5G Networks Magazine, a publication that explores the 5G networks industry through the ecosystem players’ expectations, challenges, strategies, deployments, architecture, and use cases. In this issue, we focus on Open Radio Access Networks (RAN).

We start with the current state of global RAN deployments and trials, roadmaps, and the ecosystem partners enabling the Open RAN journey.

We follow up with a talk from Sameh Yamany, CTO of VIAVI Solution, about O-RAN. Ian Wong, the Co-chair of O-RAN Testing and Integration Focus Group (TIFG) and VIAVI’s Director of RF and Wireless Architecture, CTO Office, updates us on how O-RAN supports its members and contributors in testing and integration of their O-RAN solutions.

Karpura Suryadevara, Director of emerging technologies at Amdocs, walks us through the steps to ensure a successful Open RAN deployment. Ravi Sinha, Director of Product & Technology Development at Jio, talks about Small Cell Forum (SCF)’s Open RAN Interfaces, 5G Use Cases, and deep-dives into the Automotive industry use case.

We then cover the global Open RAN ecosystem players, including the standard organizations, industry bodies, and related software and hardware vendors.
