1:18:22 Panel discussion: Paths to O-RAN implementation (1h8’)
O-RAN is creating specifications and open source to enable open RAN implementations, but there is no single path or approach to implementing O-RAN. Implementations using open source modules, proprietary modules, or a combination of the two are all feasible. Operators and suppliers can create different paths and approaches to implementing O-RAN, optimized for their specific network and customer needs. The speakers will discuss their views and/or plans and/or experiences towards implementing RAN networks and products compatible with O-RAN standards.
