Open RAN is expected to dramatically alter the way cellular networks are planned, designed, deployed, and even upgraded. However, this move toward a multi-vendor environment comes with many challenges. How do operators ensure that different components from various vendors work together? Who does the operator call to troubleshoot problems? What role do systems integrators play in the transition to Open RAN? In addition, there are some concerns about the security of open networks. This panel will discuss the challenges Open RAN is currently facing and how they can be overcome. It will also delve into some of early Open RAN deployments.
