The virtualization of the radio access network is demanding and challenging and open architectures will enable our industry to embrace new players and offer greater opportunities to new and existing suppliers.  O-RAN will be an important part of 5G and will complement the traditional network. The Open vRAN ecosystem will accelerate innovation in and around the radio access network, and will accelerate the adoption of open and virtualized solutions.

On this executive speaking panel from Barcelona Spain, three players in the Open vRAN ecosystem will discuss O-RAN use-cases and share the goal of driving new levels of openness in network architecture by optimizing multi-vendor network interworking to access network intelligence and use end-to-end data analytics and machine learning to support the delivery of innovative new consumer and industry services, in the 5G world.  Featured are, Dr. Chih-Lin I, Chief Scientist, Wireless Technologies at China Mobile, Bob Everson, Global Director, Mobility and 5G at Cisco and Neeraj Patel, VP Solutions & GM Software and Services at Radisys.
