Hana Gazoli   November 30, 2020

As the year draws to a close, we can say that 2020 has been the year of Open RAN. Every week seems to bring a new announcement about the technology. Open RAN, sometimes called “ORAN” is the movement in wireless telecommunications to disaggregate hardware and software and to create open interfaces between them.

There is a lot of information to sort through including areas of confusion, stories that are incomplete and even some misinformation. Luckily, our new e-book is a wealth of information about Open RAN, including the technology’s journey and timeline, important Open RAN groups, key information about functional splits, Open RAN integration, and more.

Using our experience engaging with more than 50 global mobile network operators across six continents to deploy ALL G Open RAN solutions, our goal with this e-book was to simplify the world of Open RAN for those who are learning about and/or evaluating Open RAN.

In this e-book, you will learn about:

• Open RAN Terminology
