Open RAN could deliver up to 30% TCO savings for operators with the right platform strategy and skill set
The leading TMT management consulting firm, Analysys Mason, completed a comparative TCO analysis of disaggregated Open RAN (O-RAN) and traditional physical RAN for 5G.
Using inputs and validation from Tier 1 operators in western Europe and in developing markets, Analysys Mason compared detailed deployment models using traditional RAN equipment vs. distributed Open RAN. They determined that TCO reduction is significant enough to justify the move to O-RAN today, but operators need to have the right skill sets and technology stack, such as those provided by Wind River®️ Studio.
