AT&T’s VP of RAN technology, Rob Soni, joins TelecomTV on the show floor of FYUZ25 in Dublin to discuss the US operator’s Open RAN deployment. Soni says Open RAN sites are now carrying commercial traffic from 1Finity (Fujitsu) radio units that are interfacing with Ericsson’s baseband and are all controlled by a cloud-based, open network management system that can run third-party applications. The AT&T executive also discussed the relevance of AT&T’s rollout to other operators and shared his views on AI-RAN architecture options.
