What is O-RAN?

O-RAN (Open Radio Access Network) is a set of industry standards promoting openness and virtualization in cellular radio access networks. It aims to disaggregate the hardware and software components of traditional RANs, enabling greater flexibility, innovation, and cost-effectiveness through vendor diversity and the use of open interfaces and virtualized network functions. It's commonly used by mobile network operators to build more agile and scalable networks.
