Open RAN – Long-term Business Opportunity or Another Transitional Technology?

Whitepaper Preview

In the early 2000s several telecommunication startups introduced to mobile service providers mission critical solutions built on commercially available off-the-shelf hardware and open-source software (such as Linux and MySQL). In the following 10-year period, mobile service providers adopted widely these solutions and mainstream telecom vendors joined the trend. Today, telecommunication solutions designed on top of open-source software are running most mobile networks.  At the same time, acclaimed open telecom standards, such as Parlay / Parlay X, became obsolete and multi-billion mobile network investments were lost.

On the back of these developments willOpen RAN be a new opportunity for building a long-term business or be just another transitional technology?
