Nokia, Ericsson Peg Automation as Next Open RAN Level
Executives from Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung, and OREX SAI believe the open RAN sector is maturing.
At TIP FYUZ 2025 in Dublin, leading vendors discussed the open RAN sector's progress, citing compatible products as a core part of their offerings and highlighting automation as a key next step.
Robert Backhouse, CTO Americas at Nokia, noted the impact of openness on infrastructure players is more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Backhouse mentioned Nokia's self-organising network is being used as a foundation for open RAN developments, with operators having developed "hundreds of applications" in recent years, which must now be transitioned to Nokia's new platform and converted into rApps.
Nokia aims to disrupt the industry through its recent partnership with chip company Nvidia.
