The latest update to the open RAN benchmark from Cullen International’s Global Trends service shows which countries are the leaders in the race to adopt open radio access network (open RAN) architectures. Covering 14 jurisdictions worldwide — including the US, Japan, the EU, and the UK — the benchmark shows, for example:
- Government funding and policy commitments. These include the US’s US$1.5bn Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund and the UK’s goal of deploying open RAN across 35% of its wireless networks by 2030.
- Commercial deployments by operators like AT&T and Verizon in the US, and NTT DOCOMO and Rakuten Mobile in Japan.
- The growing maturity of open RAN technologies, as operators increasingly view the technology ready for large-scale deployment.
As telecom networks evolve, the benchmark provides insights into adoption trends and challenges ahead of large-scale deployments of open RAN.
