The emergence of Openness, software centricity, and disaggregation in both vertical (hardware & software) and within 5G standards is a major trend and is both a downside as well as the creator of opportunities.
Non-stand alone implementations are like shortcuts that are limiting the impact of 5G. Once these handicaps are removed, we will witness the true potential of 5G
The shift toward splitting logical nodes into RU/DU/CU will bring flexibility and enable scalable, cost-effective network deployment
Development of intelligent RAN controller for both real-time and non-real-time which is bringing some intelligence into the radio which in turn is helping create some more adaptive ways of designing networks
These will enable coordination for performance features, load management, real-time performance optimization and enables adaptation to various use cases
The major challenge is that it is early stages of ORAN implementation and currently there is only one operator who has a working ORAN.
Important to track the enterprise automation ecosystem and its players
