On-demand replay of the live audience Q&A during the TelecomTV Strategic Outlook Realize the full potential of Open RAN and 5G event.
Among the questions asked by the audience:
- When do we expect that we’ll start to see real commercial deployments of 5G in Standalone Mode?
- Are operators still a little hesitant in adopting both vRAN and OpenRAN, and if so, what should be done to scale up adoption?
- How do we define vRAN vs Open RAN? Does the industry fully understands the difference?
- For 5G to work better, is it necessary to adopt CNFs (cloud native network functions) and if so what type of technology would be involved and could CNFs run on a virtual environment or directly on Bare Metal?
- What role will systems integrators play in OpenRAN and 5G, and what capabilities should they have?
- As networks move to virtualised, multi-vendor, disaggregated new world, how do operational tools like OSS keep up with this change, as traditionally they are vendor specific solutions?
