Bernard Bureau, VP, Wireless Strategy & Services, Telus

Bernard Bureau, VP of wireless strategy and services at Telus, discusses where the industry is seeing most success in virtualised RAN (vRAN) and operational automation, the implementation of autonomous network capabilities with the non real-time RIC and rApps and whether the ROI and economics of Open RAN and vRAN still work in 2026. He also explores the security considerations of a disaggregated RAN and gives an update on Telus’s own Open RAN transformation and roadmap, and much more.
