According to a new Global Trends benchmark, open radio access network (RAN) deployments around the world are still at an early stage. However, policy measures in support of open RAN have started to emerge in a few countries, and interest among industry is growing.

The research covers Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the European Union (EU), India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US).

Across the 15 geographies analysed, Japan, Russia, the UK, and the US issued strategies on open RAN. Other governments, including several countries in Asia, opted for a more neutral approach, leaving open RAN discussions to industry.
