Live Q&A discussion

This live Q&A show was broadcast at the end of day two of the Open RAN Summit. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels was joined by industry guest panellists for this question and answer session. Among the questions raised by our audience were:

  • Adoption of Open RAN also depends on organisational realignment, as well as technology. How is this work progressing?
  • Power consumption still seems to be a weakness of Open RAN solutions. How do we address this issue?
  • Is there any space for a startup to play a competitive role in Open RAN?
  • How will Open RAN impact the market potential for massive MIMO?
  • While some telcos are Open RAN leaders, others are happy to follow, but is there a danger they could wait too long?
  • How will capex reductions impact the growth of Open RAN?
  • Are Open RAN and the RAN intelligent controller (RIC) a good fit for 5G RAN sharing among CSPs?
  • Can Open RAN technologies be used in areas other than cellular communication?
