The Digital Service Provider, episode 1.33
The 4th Annual Summit of the Telecom Infra Project saw some 1,000 TIP members gather in Amsterdam. The open RAN was the main focus of the event, with Vodafone and Telefonica leading the call for an acceleration of open networking within the telecoms ecosystem. Vodafone even announced an RFQ for its entire footprint in Europe, inviting open RAN suppliers to tender for 100,000 base stations. TelecomTV spoke to the board members of TIP and asked them about the progress they are making, collectively and individually, and what areas of its end-to-end open model still need to be developed – Edge and network management being two prime examples. They are all keen to stress that TIP and its members are now entering the phase of actual deployments, including PoCs and trials. The next step is to continue this momentum whilst also encouraging more of its members to take an active part in building the next generation of telecoms infrastructure.
