OpenRAN is going global, with proponents like Dish in the US; and Vodafone, Telefonica, Deutsche Telekom, Orange and Turkcell in Europe. Then of course there is Rakuten in Japan which, after a lot of hype, finally launched its OpenRAN-based 5G service at the beginning of this month.
The OpenRAN opportunity invites various stakeholders to bring their best in class technologies and hardware/software components to contribute to building a flexible, secure, agile, and multi-vendor interoperable network solution.
This is where Ethernity fit in. I suspect that David who really has seen this shift years ago will be surprised by the scale and speed of the shift away from ASICs to OpenRAN. This creates a global opportunity which is expensive to take. I believe that even 12 months ago they were looking at maybe 2 or 3 Open networks now by volume of connections most will be Open.
