Open RAN
“DISH Wireless is an innovator in Open RAN technology and its advantages, and a member of the O-RAN Alliance, a world-wide community with the mission to re-shape the Radio Access Network (RAN) industry towards more intelligent, open, virtualized and fully interoperable mobile networks. At MWC, I discussed our Open RAN deployment experience for our 5G network during the O-RAN Alliance Ecosystem Briefing, and on the DOCOMO-hosted “On the Forefront of Open-RAN Implementation” panel. After speaking with many operators at the event, DISH is pleased with the industry’s Open RAN progress.
DISH has always believed in the power of collaboration, and that’s why we built our standalone 5G network within an Open RAN ecosystem in collaboration with partners like Samsung, Dell Technologies, VMware, Fujitsu, Mavenir and more. Our multi-vendor environment allows for best-in-class components, preventing vendor lock-in, increasing innovation and diversifying supply chains, all equating to long-term cost reduction and value creation.”
