Unshackling the RAN Marketplace – The AI Way

Unshackling the RAN Marketplace – The AI Way

Magazine
  • March 10, 2024
AI means many things to many people. Under the radar however, AI is emerging as the change agent in the RAN marketplace. Through direct and indirect means, AI and ML technologies are injecting diversity into the RAN vendor landscape. AI is not new to RAN. What is new is the combination of AI and RAN-disaggregation initiatives such as Open RAN, SDN and NFV. Established leaders, companies with telecom pedigree, consulting majors and startups are some of the notable stakeholders looking to leverage AI in the RAN. As a consequence, there is a very real probability that cellular operators will have real choices in their RAN design and deployment endeavors.

Empowering Global Connectivity – The Open RAN Revolution

Magazine
  • March 16, 2024
We are witnessing a paradigm shift in telecommunications. Open RAN is at the forefront, emphasizing a disaggregated and open approach to network architecture. This change has the potential to redefine global communication networks by enabling interoperability, fostering innovation, and democratizing access to advanced 5G technology. However, international cooperation on the Open RAN policy is vital to harness its potential fully. Governments worldwide must embrace pro-Open RAN policies, unlock funding, and encourage cross-border investments. Join Open RAN Policy Coalition in this revolution to enhance connectivity, narrow the digital divide, and promote socio-economic development worldwide.
