O-RAN
Specification
Effort

O-RAN specifications and open software are enabling a broad industry ecosystem. Companies of different sizes and specializations can use them to create their innovative and competitive open solutions.

Defining the complex O-RAN Architecture is a step-by-step process resulting in hundreds of technical documents.
