RIC and roll: how to unlock the true value of O-RAN
This whitepaper explores the critical role that the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) plays in transforming the network and empowering operators to create and monetise distinctive service propositions. In other words, it’s the RIC that can unlock the true value of the “open” proposition of Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN).

Will private 5G networks address connectivity concerns for utilities?
Utilities are well aware of the potential of private 5G networks and are keen to explore the full spectrum of digital systems for next generation connectivity – including AI, IoT, and Edge Compute. Oftentimes though this interest can be tinged with trepidation and concern around how to implement such technologies, especially given several complex connectivity requirements of modern utilities. Private 5G can meet the connectivity requirements of modern utilities – but the right strategy is needed.
