The rise of Open RAN A new era in wireless architectures

Discover how O-RAN is poised to revolutionize the industry with its standout architecture and the pivotal role of RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), which adds programmability and artificial intelligence to the RAN.

Why is O-RAN being hailed?

O-RAN reduces dependency on single vendors and legacy hardware, creating an open ecosystem like different centralized unit (CU) / distributed unit (DU) vendors, thus fostering innovation.

Here’s a comparative overview of the flexibility, innovation potential, and technological advancement that O-RAN offers over traditional RAN

Traditional RAN

Traditional RAN

  • Relies on single vendor
  • Components tightly integrated
  • Limited by proprietary technology
