Open RAN Global Forum
Hosted by RCR Wireless News
The fifth edition of this event seeks to discuss the progress of Open RAN and the crucial role of the RIC. We will examine the continually evolving ecosystem of players from hardware and software players, right down to the silicon level. We will also discuss the latest on commercial deployments, security, and the continuing debate regarding interoperability and parity of performance.
