"O-RAN ALLIANCE PlugFests provide a platform for industry collaboration to accelerate O-RAN product maturity," said Brian Daly , Co-chair of the O-RAN Technical Steering Committee and AVP at AT&T Services Inc. "We look forward to seeing how our members take advantage of the Spring PlugFest to advance the ability of operators to obtain and deploy O-RAN-based products and solutions in their networks."
The O-RAN ALLIANCE is a world-wide community of mobile operators, vendors, and research & academic institutions operating in the Radio Access Network (RAN) industry. As the RAN is an essential part of any mobile network, the O-RAN ALLIANCE's mission is to re-shape the industry towards more intelligent, open, virtualized and fully interoperable mobile networks. The new O-RAN specifications enable a more competitive and vibrant RAN supplier ecosystem with faster innovation to improve user experience. O-RAN based mobile networks at the same time improve the efficiency of RAN deployments as well as operations by mobile operators. To achieve this, the O-RAN ALLIANCE publishes new RAN specifications, releases open software for the RAN, and supports its members in integration and testing of their implementations.
