Discover how AI and Open RAN principles are integrating to transform mobile networks into intelligent, self-optimizing systems. Designed for telecom professionals, architects, and strategists, this course breaks down how these cutting-edge technologies foster smarter, more efficient networks.

Learn about the evolution of radio access network (RAN) technology, the limitations of legacy architectures, and the emergence of Open RAN as defined by the O-RAN ALLIANCE. Get a primer on AI and machine learning’s role in network automation and optimization, and examine how Open RAN enables intelligence through innovations such as the radio intelligent controller (RIC) and its xApps and rApps. This course also introduces AI-RAN as a framework for embedding AI directly into network operations and goes over enabling technologies, including software-defined networking (SDN) and multi-access edge computing (MEC).
