| Open RAN hasn’t been widely deployed in the U.S. as of yet, but other global operators have made moves. Rakuten Mobile is a main example as the operator built a new virtualized 4G wireless network that launched in Japan this past April, with cloud-based software and open RAN architecture. In Europe, Vodafone’s been a strong proponent of open RAN, turning on its first live 4G O-RAN site in the U.K. just last week with help from U.S.-based software vendor Mavenir.Among other benefits, open RAN is seen as a way to lower costs and enable operators to potentially swap out gear from different suppliers at the same site. This could help avoid vendor lock-in and provide more choice from a wider pool of suppliers. That’s in contrast to legacy architectures that often use highly customized equipment from the major RAN vendors Ericsson, Huawei, and Nokia. Dish committed to covering 70% of the U.S. population with 5G by June 2023. Last week during Q2 earnings, Dish said it’s still looking to launch one market before the end of the year. So far, VMware is on board to provide its telco cloud platform, while Altiostar, Fujitsu, and Mavenir are publicly named suppliers for the 5G network using cloud-native, open RAN architecture. In June, Dish brought on former T-Mobile executive Dave Mayo who joined in June to head up the wireless buildout strategy and execution. -- ???????? | |||
