6G, Open RAN

In this session, we delved into the ongoing debate surrounding the rollout of Open RAN technology and its relation to the future of 6G. Industry participants have raised concerns about rushing the deployment of Open RAN and argue that waiting for 6G could provide a more organic implementation. Our panelists critically examined these viewpoints, exploring whether they hold merit and considering the potential implications for the industry. We discussed real-world deployment examples that challenge this perspective, highlighting successful implementations of Open RAN in existing networks.
