Open radio access networks promise to unlock massive innovation, creating new opportunities for service providers to deliver differentiated services to consumers, businesses, and governments. This whitepaper explores how an O-RAN compliant RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) will enable opportunity growth by providing new levels of service agility, automation, and operational efficiency in mobile networks.

The whitepaper covers the following:

• Open RAN, unlocking innovation in the Radio Access Network (RAN)
• RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), the new operating system (OS) for the RAN
• Leverage the RIC to implement AI Driven Networking in the RAN
• Network Slicing and Service Management and Orchestration
