Telecom Council’s Post

In this article about Open RAN adoption, Mike Dano Mike Dano does a fine job explaining the state of global adoption, and also the political motivators behind the PR and the rates of adoption. Is Open RAN playing out the way it was hoped: as a set of lego where you can buy a piece from any vendor, and snap it into pieces from other vendors to build a working telecom network? Well, no. As probably should have been expected, it's easier to work with a single vendor, even if equipment is interoperable *on paper*. But most of all, we like Dano's conclusion, which sums it all up quite well using the lego metaphor: "...if you shop through enough yard sales, you could probably collect enough Lego pieces to build something that looks a lot like the Millenium Falcon. Or you could buy the Millenium Falcon set from Lego for $850.  Either way, you still have to actually assemble it." It's a bit early, but May the Fourth be with you, Mike. https://lnkd.in/g8YkMfi5
