Abstract : Open RAN is set to redefine the mobile telecommunications industry by delivering a multitude of benefits to network operators, including cost savings, enhanced resiliency, scalability through disaggregation, faster innovation, and improved security. By opening the RAN to multiple vendors, Open RAN encourages rapid innovation and the development of new features and services. It helps in scalability through disaggregation and cloud-native operations. But it also comes with its nuances. This talk will weigh in both sides of the technology and the effort that is taken by government and private companies to make the technology more adaptable.
