Open RAN

Open RAN

We understand the potential of Open RAN and how it can shape your strategic decisions and investments.

We have been shaping, interrogating and helping clients understand the implications of open network architectures for more than twenty years.

As radio access network (RAN) architectures continue to evolve, industry initiatives are advancing Open RAN, virtualisation, and cloud-native designs, while promoting interoperable and white-box components.

These developments are driving lower network costs, greater flexibility, and faster deployment of new services, helping operators respond more quickly to market demands and emerging technologies like 5G-Advanced and AI-driven network automation.

What we do

Working collaboratively, we help develop strategies for architectural change, guide equipment and software choices, and advise on service transformation and evolving business models. We also support hardware and software vendors, cloud providers, industry associations, and the broader Open RAN ecosystem in navigating this rapidly evolving landscape.

Why we are different

Our experts bring years of hands-on RAN development experience, including playing a critical role in shaping Open RAN architectures. We help clients navigate the options and trade-offs of open architectures, assess the benefits of different technology choices, and work closely with the companies and industry groups driving Open RAN forward.

Working with us

Our experience helps businesses capitalise on emerging opportunities, avoid common pitfalls, and make informed strategic investment decisions.

Let’s talk

Advice on RAN evolution: We are uniquely qualified to monitor and assess this network evolution on behalf of partners, clients and governments, having followed and influenced the evolution of RAN architectures for over ten years.

Develop your wireless strategy: Whether you’re an equipment vendor or wireless user, operator, regulator or investor, we can help you to understand how RANs are developing and what changes in network architectures could mean for you – both as a challenge and as an opportunity.

Future proofing: As a multi-disciplinary consultancy that includes engineers, economists, project managers, business leaders, regulatory strategists, industry analysts and, of course, wireless technology experts, we are better positioned than most to read the RAN roadmap as the route ahead reveals itself.
