Keynote: O-RAN: Goals and Challenges
summary
O-RAN claims a concrete path from proprietary boxes to a virtualized, multi-vendor RAN: founded eighteen months ago by five founders +16 new operators (including China Mobile and NTT Docomo) and hosted as the Linux Foundation O-RAN Software Community, it defines and certifies open interfaces (O-CU/O-DU/RU split) and publishes reference software. The program builds multi-operator test-and-integration centers and expects edge-cloud placement to cut E2E latency (physics limit ≈100 km for ~1 ms), while silicon and vendor partners (Intel, Broadcom, Ericsson, Nokia, Cisco) contribute real modules.
