Open RAN Overview & Architecture
Open RAN is a standard developing with the aim is to “accelerate innovation and commercialization in RAN domain with multi-vendor interoperable products and solutions that are easy to integrate.
About This Course
Open RAN is a radio access network where hardware from any equipment supplier can be used with software, API, source code, interface etc. from other different suppliers. Shift from Proprietary to COTS (Commercial off the shelf).
Open RAN split key RAN functions among different nodes to manage different services and applications (real time and non-real time). Open RAN is also known as Disaggregated RAN. Baseband functionality is split between central unit (CU) and distributed unit (DU).
