Description
Open RAN refers to the modern RAN architecture conceived which aims to promote inter-operability between equipment vendors' offerings, lower RAN costs and improve their energy efficiency. It leverages a number of technological advances viz. NFV, containerization, Edge Computing and AI/ML to acheive its aims.
This talk starts with previous generation RAN shortcomings vis-a-vis demands from next generation of networks. Next we look at some important collaborative intiatives - O-RAN alliance and Telecom Infra Project (TIP) that have helped shape this new RAN architecture, and players involved in these. A walkthrough of O-RAN Aliiance architecture will follow.
A number of technologies work in confluence to realize the vision of Open RAN, and we look the various problems each of these technologies help solve for Open RAN. These are still early days of Open RAN adoption, so we look at the ongoing work and related opportunities, with a deeper dive on its security aspects.
We round off this talk with a snapshot of market leaders in the O-RAN space with a quick look at characteristics of their offerings.
