Consider the following statements regarding the Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN):

1. An O-RAN is a totally disaggregated approach to deploying mobile networks built entirely on cloud native principles.

2. The future goal for O-RAN in the cellular network is to interoperate both seamlessly and securely regardless of its originating vendor cloud-native

Which of the above statements is/are incorrect ?

1 only

2 only

Both 1 and 2

Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation:

Correct Option: (d) Explanation: Both statements are correct. Supplementary notes: Open Radio Access Network (RAN) The Radio Access Network (RAN) provides the critical technology to connect users, including mobile phones or enterprises, to the mobile network over radio waves. It also acts as a bridge to access all the key applications on the web. Current RAN technology is provided as a hardware and software integrated platform. The ambition for Open RAN is to create a multi-supplier RAN solution that allows for the separation - or disaggregation - between hardware and software with open interfaces and virtualisation, hosting software that controls and updates networks in the cloud. The promised bene fi ts include supply chain diversity, solution fl exibility, and new capabilities leading to increased competition and further innovation. New 5G use cases will deliver new revenue streams for communication service providers (CSPs) and new connectivity opportunities for subscribers. These use cases include: Cloud gaming AR/VR Autonomous driving Fixed Wireless Access The future goal for ORAN is for any hardware and software in the cellular network to interoperate both seamlessly and securely regardless of its originating vendor.
