Fiber networks are a subject near and dear to my heart... this article is worth a read to understand the challenges and potential solutions for better, cheaper, faster, deployment of a key 5G enabler leveraging todays solution set.

Open RAN, or Open Radio Access Network, is a revolutionary approach to building mobile networks that allows for greater flexibility and interoperability between different vendors' equipment. One key component of Open RAN is the O1 interface, which plays a crucial role in enabling communication between different network elements. The O1 interface is responsible for exchanging control plane messages between the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) and the gNB (Next Generation NodeB). This interface allows for implementing advanced network management and optimization functions, such as dynamic resource allocation and traffic steering, which can help improve network performance and efficiency. By standardizing the O1 interface, Open RAN enables operators to mix and match equipment from different vendors, leading to a more diverse and competitive ecosystem. This can ultimately drive innovation, reduce costs, and accelerate the deployment of new services. In conclusion, the O1 interface in Open RAN is a critical component that enables greater flexibility and interoperability in mobile networks. By embracing this open architecture, operators can unlock new opportunities for innovation and growth in the telecommunications industry.

The MOCN solution is paving the way for the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS), offering substantial benefits: 🔹 Optimized Resource Utilization: By enabling multiple operators to share the same network infrastructure, MOCN maximizes the use of available resources. This not only reduces costs but also ensures efficient and sustainable operations. 🔹 Enhanced Coverage and Capacity: With MOCN, operators can extend their network coverage and increase capacity without the need for additional infrastructure. This means better service quality for users and more robust connectivity across regions. 🔹 Accelerated Deployment: MOCN facilitates faster network rollouts, crucial for countries aiming to rapidly expand their digital infrastructure. This swift deployment can drive economic growth and foster technological innovation. 🔹 Cost Efficiency: Sharing network resources translates to significant cost savings for operators. These savings can be reinvested into further network improvements, enhancing overall service offerings. 🔹 Support for Emerging Technologies: As we move towards 5G and beyond, MOCN provides a flexible and future-proof solution that can adapt to new technological advancements, ensuring long-term viability and relevance. Embracing MOCN is not just a strategic move for operators, but a crucial step for countries striving to build resilient, high-performance communication networks. 🚀🌍 Check out our blog post to learn more about how MOCN is shaping the future of telecommunications: https://lnkd.in/dRC6MGTU #MOCN #NetworkOptimization #5G #DigitalTransformation #Ericsson #FRMCS #Connectivity

Last week at Global Trends we published a new research on the state of "gigabit-capable" connectivity around the world. In some of the jurisdictions covered in this report the regulation of full fibre is no longer an issue (the infrastructure is pervasively available and used, already. The report covers how they actually did it). In other jurisdictions public policy debates on how to stimulate and regulate full fibre deployments are currently at the top of policymakers' agendas. https://lnkd.in/dvNSsRjf
