I have worked on Open RAN before it was called open RAN, when Telefonica deployed open and disaggregated networks in Latin America and wrote the first open RAN RFI with Vodafone at the TIP summit. Later on, at NEC, we deployed it at NTT DOCOMO, Rakuten Mobile, Deutsche Telekom, 1&1 Vodafone and Telefonica. I also assisted more than 90 customers with their technology strategy at {Core Analysis}.
This experience has given me a unique vantage point on the vendors and operators strategies, the technology maturity and the market acceptability of the technology.
Between the latest commitments from AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, STC, Vodafone and others, the announcements from Ericsson, Mavenir, Nokia, Samsung, the recent acquisitions of VMWare and Juniper Networks, the new proposed enhancements to the fronthaul interface, the debates around accelerators architecture, and the emergence of AI/ML and LLM, this market has never been so confusing.
This report provides an exhaustive review of the key technology trends, vendors product offering, and strategies, ranging from silicon, servers, cloud CaaS, Open RUs, DU, CUs, RICs, apps and SMOs in the open RAN space in 2024.
