Advancing RAN Performance: O-RAN ALLIANCE Participants Showcase Innovative Solutions at MWC Barcelona 2025
- 33 showcases of latest O-RAN technology and solutions to be presented by O-RAN ALLIANCE Participants at MWC Barcelona 2025 or the O-RAN Virtual Exhibition
- Innovative solutions based on RAN Intelligent Controllers improve RAN efficiency and performance
- O-RAN component demos showcase significant improvements in interoperability and security
BONN, Germany, Feb. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- O-RAN ALLIANCE participants will showcase 33 open and intelligent Radio Access Networks (RAN) solutions throughout MWC Barcelona 2025 and at the O-RAN Virtual Exhibition.
The latest products and components, based on O-RAN specifications, demonstrate improved interoperability, efficiency, performance and security for deployments in mobile networks by diverse providers. Many showcased solutions focus on enhancements of O-RAN integration and testing for accelerating adoption of new components into existing networks.
Multiple demonstrations show how the O-RAN based AI framework – Near-Real-Time and Non-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controllers (RICs) running xApps or rApps – accelerates the value capture from AI innovations. These include hierarchical operation of apps and RICs for network optimization in a large-scale network, global orchestration for terrestrial and non-terrestrial network operations, integration of Quantum Machine Learning and Quantum-Inspired Algorithms for estimating quality of experience, non-linear signal processing framework to fully exploit spatial, frequency and time network resources, and more.
