Achieving the cost, supplier diversification, and innovation benefits of disaggregating the Radio Access Network (RAN) has been a dream since before the founding of the O-RAN ALLIANCE in 2018. Today, we are still proving interoperability of the basic Open RAN components. In light of recent worldwide Government interest and investment in Open RAN, the true state of interoperability remains a key question. Join this panel of industry analysts and experts to understand the true state of the ecosystem and what to expect going forward.
