Caroline Chappell, expert in cloud native technologies, explains that if operators are serious about network convergence (where siloed network domains are brought together into a single network entity to support new enterprise services such as network slicing and network-as-a-service), then they must acquire a cloud-native programmable network platform as a strategic priority for 2024.Read the associated article.

In this podcast, Caroline Chappell, expert in cloud-native technologies, discusses a key test for AT&T’s open network credentials. The question is whether AT&T will pair its cloud platform with RAN functions from Ericsson or opt for a third-party telecoms cloud platform. This decision will shape the future capability to run RAN functions from various vendors in the future.
This podcast discusses
why a horizontal cloud platform is necessary for Open RAN
why high-capacity network operators (brownfield operators) need to take steps towards adopting Open RAN while incorporating openness into the process
who the horizontal cloud platform contenders are for AT&T’s Open RAN deployment and who is best placed to win the prize.
