As The Mobile Network prepares to release a new report into Open RAN Commercialisation, we asked Mavenir CMO Stefano Catarelli about the key points the report raises.
– Is Open RAN ready for commercial deployments at scale?
– What is left to do when it comes to operators’ requirements?
– What is Mavenir contributing to this wider scale deployment?
Cantarelli says that there’s a “big momentum” for Open RAN, and that operators are indeed ready for large scale commercial deployments, driven by a combination of factors.
What he’s excited about is that the Open RAN architecture can meet requirements to deploy networks in a different way. That gives brownfield and greenfield operators flexibility in their deployment options, for instance to densify for mmWave and M-MIMO coverage, or to meet use defined cases by aggregating baseband processing in micro datacentres distributed at the edge.
