The After Show was broadcast live at the end of Day Two of the TelecomTV Summit on Open RAN. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels and Ray Le Maistre were joined by panelists for this end-of-day question and answer session. Among the questions raised by our audience were:

Can the Open RAN market support hundreds of new entrants?
Where does the RIC sit in the mobile network architecture?
What is preventing the RIC from being applicable to the traditional RAN?
To what extent are telco edge platforms ready to run Open RAN deployments?
What are the key security threats towards deploying Open RAN?
