NETWORK DISAGGREGATION: DISRUPTIONS, OPPORTUNITIES, AND A LOOK AHEAD AT OPEN RAN

As the latest generation of wireless networks comes to life and the impact of 5G starts taking shape, the change across the network is enormous and far-reaching. The driving force behind this shift is network disaggregation – O-RAN is reshaping the ecosystem, creating lower barriers to participation, new technology and novel, open approaches to infrastructure.

Recently, ADI executives joined some of the biggest names across 5G ecosystem – including: Facebook Connectivity, Vodafone and Marvell – to discuss the changes coming from network disaggregation and what opportunities are in store for the industry in the years to come.

Featured panelists:

  • Joe Barry, VP Wireless Communications, Analog Devices
  • Greg Henderson, SVP, Automotive, Communications, and Aerospace & Defense
