Open RAN and 5G are important areas for HPE, which is why it has created the new CTG group – the Communications Technology Group. Leading the group is Phil Mottram, who discusses the impact 5G is going to have on the industry and the move towards an open RAN. The disaggregation in the core is also starting to take effect at the edge, in the RAN. So what’s forcing telcos to transform, and what are the key trends driving this change? Deploying both 5G core and the associated RAN requires a substantial investment; yet, it’s still not clear where the expected growth in 5G revenue is going to come from. So how do CSPs address this conundrum? And what key advantages do telcos have in moving from the current hybrid 5G RAN plus 4G core architecture, to a 5G standalone core?
