The benefits vs. challenges of Open RAN technology
Monday, 27 February | Stage A, Hall 6
Which side of the fence are you on? Or are you sitting on the fence, waiting to see what the next big Open RAN advancement will be? We all know the opportunities and challenges associated with disaggregation of the network, but can it really work for the majority? What will it take to secure widespread adoption? How can system integration and security risks be mitigated? When will we see CAPEX and OPEX savings really be proven?
These are just some of the questions that leading Digital Service Providers debated with each other on this panel moderated by GSMA Intelligence Tim Hatt, Head of Research and Consulting.
