One open question is around integration and who fulfills the role of integrator. In addition, “there is the question of research and development and how the industry collaborates, especially as we move to more aggressive feature development in 5G,” he said. “At T-Mobile we plan to implement open RAN when the time is right and the opportunity makes sense for us, but our primary focus today is on aggressively rolling out our 5G network.”“We are actively driving 3GPP standards development and also are part of the O-RAN Alliance and Telecom Infra Project to drive open RAN related aspects of standards development. We are also part of many national and international industry organizations, such as 5G Americas and NGMN, that advocate for and foster the advancement and full capabilities of 5G including open RAN,” he said.T-Mobile’s President of Technology Neville Ray has suggested the open RAN approach means there’s no single vendor to turn to when things go wrong. But Mansfield said the reality is most operators use multiple vendors today, which has in essence required some level of management between vendors so it’s not really a single vendor approach.One thing he’s noticed is a tendency for people to blend together terms like open RAN and concepts like virtualization and centralized networks. Also in the mix are SDN and NFV, which have been part of the conversation for a while now. But it all adds to the alphabet soup of terms that can lead to confusion. -- ???????? | |||
