Europe Urged to Act Now to Build Open RAN Ecosystem

A new report, published today by five of the leading European telecommunications companies called upon policymakers, EU Member States, and industry stakeholders to collaborate and urgently prioritise Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN). This will ensure that Europe continues to play a leading role in 5G, and in the future, in 6G.

The report concludes that Europe needs to include Open RAN as a pillar in its Industrial Policy and Digital Compass Strategy and will have a positive impact on other vital technology areas such as cloud, software, and chipsets to significantly contribute to the wider technology ambitions of a digital Europe.
