Open Architectures

Challenges and opportunities of open networks

Event Date: Tuesday 11 October

Keynotes, interviews, panel discussions and webinars on Open Architectures

Join us LIVE day 2 of Next-Generation Networks: Open Architectures.

Tuesday 11 October from 12pm BST

A recent GSMA Intelligence survey found that 77% of operator respondents are likely to leverage 5G to introduce open networking technologies (including open RAN).

This Unwrapped daily focus will examine the challenges (eg integration issues/security/cultural challenges) and opportunities involved in building a single, software-based automated network that runs on any cloud – public or private, centralised or distributed.

Open Architectures

Let’s unwrap the topic:

  • Review progress in the open RAN market
  • Determine whether the claimed capex savings touted by an open RAN strategy are realistic
  • What does a commitment to ‘open’ mean for operators?
  • Use of open source software and broadly open IT technologies.

Topic schedule

Mobile World Live and GSMA Intelligence bring you an action packed day of keynotes and panel discussions with industry experts in Open Architecture. Individual partnered webinars will feature during the day deep diving into the topic. There are Open Architecture Partnership opportunities still available, including featuring across our webinars and interviews.
