Open RAN offers cost savings in terms of network deployment and operational expenses. By allowing operators to use equipment from multiple vendors, it fosters competition, potentially reducing prices and making the overall network infrastructure more cost-efficient.
Open RAN's emphasis on interoperability enables network operators to mix and match components from different vendors. This promotes vendor diversification, reducing dependence on a single supplier and creating a more flexible and competitive market environment.
The modular and open nature of open RAN facilitates quicker adoption of new technologies. This promotes innovation as vendors can introduce updates and improvements independently, enabling faster integration of advanced features and technologies within the network.
Open RAN architecture allows for easier scalability, making it adaptable to varying network demands. This flexibility is crucial in accommodating the evolving requirements of 5G networks and beyond, contributing to the long-term growth of the Open RAN market.
Open RAN can play a pivotal role in extending mobile network coverage to underserved and remote areas. Its cost-effective and adaptable approach makes it an attractive solution for addressing global connectivity challenges and bridging the digital divide, contributing to market growth.
The Open RAN ecosystem benefits from collaborative efforts among industry stakeholders. The establishment of interoperability standards and collaborations between telecom operators, equipment manufacturers, and technology developers contributes to a more cohesive and standardized Open RAN environment, fostering market growth.

A growing number of operators are requesting open RAN solutions for new wireless network deployments. By using RAN platforms and systems that support open interfaces, operators can ensure that these solutions are designed to be compatible with future deployments and allow them to source their RAN infrastructure from multiple vendors. The use of open RAN by operators is expected to grow as the industry transitions through 5G Advanced to 6G.
The importance of AI in both 5G Advanced and 6G raises the question of how adding AI to open RAN will impact multi-vendor solutions. Results from a different question in the survey suggest that operators are not expecting this to be an issue. 54% of respondents said that adding AI to open RAN would make multi-vendor solutions more likely, and a further 39% said it would make no difference or it depends on the implementation. Only 8% said it would make multi-vendor solutions less likely.
The outcome is that operators are expecting AI to bring significant benefits to RAN deployments. Adding AI to open RAN will encourage rather than limit multi-vendor solutions for RAN infrastructure.
