Open RAN 2023 Operator Survey: An Industry Update and Look Ahead

Open RAN is advancing at a measured pace. With well-developed specifications, and increasingly competitive products from an array of vendors, operators can now deploy the technology across a wide range of network scenarios to better meet customer needs.

This webinar presents the key findings and analysis from the fourth annual Heavy Reading Open RAN Operator Survey conducted in winter 2023.

Among the topics to be discussed include:

  • Technology readiness for “at scale” nationwide deployment
  • vRAN implementation preferences and trends in RAN architecture
  • RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) platforms and multi-vendor xApps and rApps
  • Open fronthaul profiles and 5G massive MIMO
  • Changes in sentiment from our 2018, 2020 and 2021 surveys
