Open RAN Digital Conference
30th November & 2nd December 2021
Ahead of the inaugural in-person Open RAN World event in April 2022, join the ecosystem online at the Open RAN Digital Conference, powered by Light Reading.
What is the Open RAN Digital Conference?
Open RAN is transforming mobile networks. From a starting position as an alternative to vendor-integrated proprietary Radio Access Networks (RANs), Open RAN now has broad and deep support across the mobile network ecosystem. With open interfaces, commercial hardware and cloud-native software, it may one day be the best way to build a RAN.
The Open RAN Digital Conference will track the key Open RAN initiatives and deployments underway across the world. It will investigate progress in the Open RAN technology and ask what comes next that can elevate open RAN performance to match today's state-of-the-art RAN systems.
