Taking over the US’ Wireless Market with Open RAN Tech

DISH has taken the open approach to its network architecture. With Open RAN, the DISH 5G network runs on fully-virtualized – and typically containerized – software, deployed via the cloud across its network platform.

“This means that we’re not encumbered or constrained by a traditional, vertically-integrated system where the software is anchored to the hardware; we no longer have those limitations,” says Stephen Bye, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer at DISH Wireless. “It allows DISH to utilise the innovation of other parties on the platform. This essentially gives DISH the opportunity to bring in innovative software and solutions at a faster pace than legacy networks.”
