5G: Open RAN (Open Radio Access Network)



New course

Alongside the 5G standardization work being carried out by 3GPP, a major transformation of the 5G radio access architecture (RAN) is being led by the O-RAN Alliance through the O-RAN (Open Radio Access Network) initiative, which aims to make this dimension more flexible by bringing in virtualization, clouding and artificial intelligence techniques.
