Open RAN Global Forum
2025-09-23 11:30 - 12:10 (America/Halifax)
This virtual forum explores where Open RAN stands today—its technical and operational maturity, the role of AI and automation, performance at scale, and the path toward 6G integration. From monetization opportunities to energy efficiency and standardization, we’ll examine how the ecosystem is addressing today’s challenges and shaping the next phase of intelligent, open network evolution.
Sarat Puthenpura, Aether Chief Architect Aether SMaRT-5G Project, will be participating in a panel discussion “Energy Efficiency in Open RAN” along with Abbas Khan, Radio Boost Mobile; Chris Murphy, VIAVI Solutions; and Arun Handoo, Qualcomm Technologies.
