Shabbir Bagasrawala, who leads Altiostar’s go-to-market strategy, and Steve Mailey, a systems architect with Cisco, also participated in the discussion.
The Open RAN blueprint, validated in WWT’s Advanced Technology Center, a unique lab environment with over $500 million in OEM infrastructure, can provide a significant boost for service providers to implement and realize the industry’s 5G vision by delivering an open, agile, software-driven network that enables richer services, with greater flexibility at a lower cost.
The Open RAN solution:
- Maximizes ROI on existing network infrastructure by utilizing current hardware to deploy the solution.
- Is a fully integrated, cloud-based virtual RAN, which enables a new ecosystem of vendors to participate in the RAN industry while leveraging the benefits of cloud-based architecture, including web-scale hardware and systems.
- Provides a future-proof architecture that creates a simple transition path to 5G.
