O-RAN Newsletter June 2024

Initially, Open RAN focused on disaggregating hardware and software, then reaggregating them into a functional system. Now, the emphasis is on robust implementations, open cloud-based automation, and service differentiation at scale in brownfield networks. As major European operators lead the way, can Open RAN in brownfields scale and deliver real innovation?

In 2024, Open RAN gained significant momentum as Vodafone and AT&T, along with over 30 global operators, committed to implementing open radio interfaces. Despite challenges for vendors in the evolving Open RAN market, initiatives are underway to streamline growth and meet market demands. Scaling Open RAN adoption and performance requires operators' confidence, shifting focus from basic testing to validating carrier-grade readiness for commercial deployments.

O-RAN's success depends on matching traditional radio performance, closing feature gaps, ensuring plug-and-play interoperability, and achieving cost savings. Deployments often include next-gen elements like cloud and automation, introducing new testing dynamics. O-RAN's complex architecture requires automated testing to validate performance, ensure interoperability, and support open ecosystems. These tests must address user equipment, disaggregated functions, and radios before deployment.
