O-RAN ALLIANCE Summit at MWC Barcelona 2025

The highly anticipated O-RAN ALLIANCE Summit will take place on March 4, 2025, from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM CET during MWC Barcelona. This premier industry gathering aims to bolster the adoption of Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN) and provide a deep dive into its prospects for the future. Hosted in Hall 8, Theatre 6, the event will also be accessible via a free online broadcast, ensuring that a global audience can participate.

The Summit is positioned to offer comprehensive updates on the current status of O-RAN, revealing valuable insights regarding operational experiences, regional initiatives surrounding open RAN, and applications across various industry sectors. By convening over 20 expert speakers, attendees will be treated to a rich tapestry of perspectives and insights regarding the advancements in open RAN specification, development, and deployment.

One of the standout features of the summit will include discussions on the anticipated evolution of 3GPP and O-RAN ALLIANCE architectures as we steer towards the promising capabilities of 6G. Abdurazak Mudesir, Chair of the Board of O-RAN ALLIANCE and Group CTO at Deutsche Telekom, remarked, "This event will underscore O-RAN ALLIANCE's progress and ongoing efforts to foster collaboration and innovation within the global RAN industry ecosystem."

The O-RAN ALLIANCE, a worldwide collective of mobile operators, vendors, and scholarly institutions focused on transforming the Radio Access Network (RAN) landscape, aims to make mobile networks more intelligent, open, and interoperable. This mission is crucial as the RAN is a key component of mobile networks and significantly shapes user experience. Through the release of new specifications and open software for RAN, the O-RAN ALLIANCE seeks to cultivate a more competitive supplier environment, leading to quicker innovation and improved efficiency for mobile operators.

To participate in the event onsite, attendees will require an MWC access pass and must register through the MWC website. For those unable to attend in person, the live web dissemination will allow interested parties to engage with the event's discussions and findings. This inclusive approach empowers a broad audience to partake in shaping the narrative around open RAN technologies and their role in next-gen mobile networking.

In conclusion, the O-RAN ALLIANCE Summit at MWC Barcelona presents an invaluable opportunity for industry stakeholders to converge and channel their expertise toward advancing open RAN adoption. As the industry aims to transition from 5G to the innovative prospects of 6G, this summit will serve as a pivotal platform for dialogue, collaboration, and strategic planning aligned with the evolving technological landscape.
