Open RAN and the future of mobile networks
Future Perspective
It is fair to say that Open RAN has not yet achieved the dominance on cellular networks that Linux and Apache have over the Internet. But all the elements are there, and it just takes some work from motivated individuals, universities, and underdog companies who see open source as an ally to compete with the large manufacturers. In the end, it is very likely that open standards will lead the drive toward open hardware and open source software on future mobile networks.
