On Wednesday 1st March 2023, GSMA was joined by Open RAN experts during the 5G Futures Summit at MWC23 Barcelona to discuss how supply chain resiliency is defined by its capacity for resistance and recovery. During the session, our keynote speakers and panellists explored the economic and technological impacts that the supply chain has on open RAN deployments, and identified areas of improvement to further momentum in the open RAN space.<\/p>\n

Moderated by Kelsey Kusterer Ziser, Senior Editor at Light Reading<\/strong>, the session was kicked off by Emanuel Kolta, Lead Analyst at GSMA Intelligence, <\/strong>who set the scene of transforming
\nRAN architectures and how 5G is a key driving force that will facilitate this transformation 5G offers operators the flexibility that will enable them to extend 5G services to more users in a secure, and cost and energy-efficient way.<\/p>\n

Next we heard from Ramin Attari, Regional VP MEA at Parallel Wireless<\/strong>, who discussed the current state of Open RAN and how we can accelerate the deployment and adoption of interoperable Open RAN networks.<\/p>\n

We then heard from our next keynote speaker, Sadayuki Abeta, VP, Head of Open RAN solutions at NTT Docomo<\/strong>, who discussed the challenges of system integrations for many operators, sharing NTT DOCOMO\u2019s experience of commercial RAN integration for both 4G and 5G.<\/p>\n

For the sessions final keynote presentation we heard from Vivek Chadha, SVP, Telco Cloud at Rakuten Symphony<\/strong>, who discussed how the future of mobile networks are fiercely connected to the topic of Open RAN and how the concept of Open RAN is being underpinned by four key pillars that will drive the reality of its success, citing fundamental changes that are required in the Telco world going forward.<\/p>\n

Before bringing the session to a close we were joined on stage by experts from Parallel Wireless<\/strong>, Radisys<\/strong>, Picocom<\/strong> and 4iG<\/strong> to discussed the imperative of Open RAN, providing insights into the impact of standards, and how the industry can better connect historically underserved regions with open RAN and 5G.\u00a0Watch the full session on demand.<\/p>\n
