Open RAN

Open RAN (Open Radio Access Network) is a specialized approach to building cellular networks that allows different equipment and software from various vendors to work together seamlessly. Unlike traditional networks where hardware and software are tightly integrated and often proprietary, Open RAN uses standardized interfaces and open architecture. This promotes competition, reduces costs, and increases flexibility, enabling telecom providers to customize and upgrade their networks more easily. Essentially, it's like using compatible parts from multiple manufacturers to create a more adaptable and innovative mobile network system.
